I can write a book on how force-induced monopolies are wrong as well...

If the original party doesn't want to play fairly, I'm not going to play fairly. 

I'm not going to pay for an HBO subscription just to watch Game of Thrones, but I'll buy the DVD/Blu-ray boxsets when they are released because I like the books and I think the show is a good adaptation. Plus, on the low-quality streaming site it was low-quality and I'd prefer to watch the show in HD with good sound. 

I don't care about big companies not getting their monies.

I just feel bad for the director whose work is unappreciated on 480 reencodes with crap subs and more often than not disgusting watermarking.

It certainly is appreciated, otherwise I won't watch it (and wouldn't buy a boxset to enjoy HD.) Also I don't know what you mean about subs and watermarking. I don't watch too many foreign television shows (in other languages) nor do I ever really see watermarks when I do this. I guess you're talking about anime? (which I watch rarely these days) In that case there are plenty of 720p anime streams one can find with decent subs. You just have to look for them. As for resolution, 480p isn't bad on a 22 inch monitor (on the 55 inch TV it is ugly), but I shouldn't be complaining if I get to watch it without paying a subscription. What is bad are the sub 480p resolutions some of them have. I don't really watch those.
