I don't know how much these services think I can spend on entertainment every month, they are all priced as though they are the only service in the market and like I have nothing else I want to spend money on. The film prices on iTunes are mental, I can buy a DVD from as little as kr79, so 49 to rent one seems excessive (also aware that Apple are not solely responsible for setting prices here).

As an anime fan too, torrenting is literally the only way to obtain content. THE ONLY WAY. There are 2 good free streaming sites I can think of that are not blocked in my region, and one of them daisuki.net doesn't support flash on Linux (groan) so I have to use the 'wrong' PC at home for that.

The state of legal streaming and content availability was a laughable disaster 5+ years ago. Now it's a case of being indignant and feeling righteous about giving these idiots the middle finger. The entertainment distributors are their own worst enemy.
