Consumers are paying more than ever for streaming TV each month and analysts say there’s no reason for the companies to stop raising prices::Finding new subscribers in a saturated streaming video market isn't easy. And with legacy media companies desperate to recoup revenue declines in their linear TV businesses, the cost of your monthly plan is likely to keep rising.

The knowledge is extremely easy to obtain though. There are lots of very detailed guides. It's not extremely complex, anyway.

It's just hard to know what information even correctly pertains to me. My comment received a half dozen other comments... some seemingly from the US, others from the EU. Some comments saying every house has a PC (not true) others saying a PC isn't even necessary. Some comments with how to find a good VPN, other comments saying a VPN isn't even necessary. Then I got recommendations for a half dozen different services from various comments with no idea if they are all necessary and how they interact with each other.

It may not be extremely complex, but until you get your feet wet, it sure seems like it is. In my day you downloaded what you wanted off of Kazaa or BearShare or the like and then watched it on your PC with VLC. or if you were really fancy you burned it on CDS or DVDS. Then when the bad emails or letters came in, you just told your parents it was the neighbors.
