I see piracy as a great benevolence on the internet. There is one person who I've gotten dozens of Jeopardy episodes from, no one else really uploads them much. They are great quality, with subtitles, posted day of release sometimes. What does the poster get from this in return?

Yup. If I wanna watch the dub of From The New World, I can buy it secondhand for like $70 on Amazon, because nobody streams it. If it weren't for the sketchy but not technically illegal sites I use to watch anime, I'd have never seen one of the best ones. I'd be stuck watching shonen trash, because that's all that these sites seem to have in stock
