Your local Library has videos.
not everyone lives in countries with local libraries that have videos
My local torrent site has them without getting off the couch.
True, but if you get a walk to the library it is both healthy and you support your local library (more users means more funding hopefully).
I've got no way to play DVDs though I'd have to go and buy a DVD player. Streaming content is much more convenient I would like to be able to do it legally and without hassle. But the content creating companies don't seem to be interested in providing me an option to do that.
Anyway my local library isn't really that local it's a 25-minute drive and probably an hour plus walk up a really steep hill.
Oh no not having to leave my house or get a little bit of exercise or go outside!
Except I didn't actually say that. I said that going to a physical location and getting a physical disk and then driving all the way back home is considerably less convenient than streaming content.
I just don't want to have to pay for anything
/S
I'm happy to favour things they are just not giving me a convenient way to give them money.
