I P2P all the hi-rez HD multi-channel content that I want (and that is a LOT) safely through a $6-a-month privacy-proven VPN. It's not for "research purposes", it's illegal-as-fuck-piracy and frankly, I don't give a goddamn. I buy blue rays when I know for certain it's a movie I'll like and want to keep, and most of what I dl is TV, that I already pay for with a $100+-a-month DTV satellite bill and I have Amazon-Prime as well. It's just easier and more convenient to P2P than anything else, I get what I want, the way I want it - no FBI/interpol warning I can't FF through, no DRM at all, no commercials, practically no waiting, as much cheap storage as I can buy (just got a 4Tb drive for $150, or truecrypt zips in the cloud, whatevs!), foreign shows NOW, watch on any device (usually LAN to xbox) etc. etc. etc. The reasons for keeping the satellite (with it's very limited DVR storage) are getting fewer and fewer, and I'm sure I'll STILL sleep like a baby without it.
These politicians and rules and greed will ruin the net - if we let them - for those not tech-savvy enough to find an immediate work-around for anything they throw at it. P2P for netflix is a fantastic enough idea to get me to buy the service if they do it, but I'm not signing up for something that is about to be fucked-up by the fuck-ups. I feel sorry for the millennials, 'cuz a sick FB profile is not what I mean by "tech-savvy".
