Why do i want a copy of something I am only going to watch once? And why should I keep a copy if I can just stream it again from the same or some different site for free in the future?
Streaming is just more practical. Doesn’t matter if its legal or piracy
And why should I keep a copy if I can just stream it again from the same or some different site for free in the future?
That’s a big if depending on the media in question, and the effort required to go find it again.
I’ve had so many instances where a streaming site takes down the movie or show I was planning on watching with one or both of my partners, only to have it not there and either have to waste an hour trying to find it again or figure out something else to watch.
Spinning rust drives are cheaper than the time I spend looking for something or being annoyed at having my plans derailed. Plus, I’ve used that more than once to make up for streaming site/content missing issues during get together with friends, so it’s more than worth it to me.

you’re downloading a copy no matter which way you do it, you’re just tossing the copy as you download it with the streaming method
aside from the wastefulness of downloading the exact same thing multiple times, the source might vanish leaving you with nowhere to stream it from again

Delete it when you’re done if you never want to watch it again.

I thought you just said you wouldn’t want to watch it again?
Obviously there are people who do watch pirate streams. I’m just pointing out how odd it is in the context of this thread, where people are complaining about dependency on outside resources, and how alien it is to my personal approach to this kind of thing.
