This. Except for live stuff I use P2P add-ons. More or less for foreign broadcasters using premier league games. Just easier to get HD streams via P2P.
I know I'm guilty but I don't feel it. I sub Sky right through for Sky sports and BT sports but find myself using Kodi for American TV shows rather than waiting for it to appear ridiculously late sometimes for UK broadcast.
Other subs are Netflix, Prime and Spotify. Games I just pay for outright, I used to try before you buy with torrents many moons ago but when I moved into high paying work I just started buying them legitimately and since steam started offering refunds I have nothing to lose.
All in all, various subs and Kodi have wiped out my usage of torrents except for the odd P2P stream.
Something will give soon if people start having the mindset they should cancel subs and solely use something like Kodi. Whether they'll lower sub prices across the board or penalise existing customers, it could be good or bad. So I have no sympathy for anyone using this to watch UK broadcasts. As for foreign, my viewership is money they couldn't possibly lose as I can't subscribe to it, I'm still guilty ofc.
I used to sub something called PLP, an Asian dedicated site that showed premier league games until it became a VPN faf on. Not sure if it was legal or not.
