The technical hoops (VPNs, ad-blockers, download managers), combined with the high risk of malware infection, make the cost far outweigh the benefit. Furthermore, by using such sites, you are not supporting the filmmakers, actors, and crew who worked thousands of hours to produce the entertainment you enjoy.

Many local libraries offer free, legal digital streaming through apps like Kanopy or Libby.
