When the day will come, and once I pay for something I have the ability to just hit download and it will fetch an .mkv/.mp4 from a CDN, that’s when I’ll pay for it. Sadly that day isn’t even remotely close, so torrenting it is. Oh and fuck you WideVine.

You don't need to hope as you can do this now without even having to pay first. If anyone should be hopeful, it's these studios/distribution platforms.

That's how Louis CK distributes his shows since he was cancelled.
