I downloaded Matilda the other day. Yes the movie about a child that's brilliant and might have super powers and the premise of the entire movie is basically Ha ha child abuse. It's a movie I had not thought about in decades and on a whim wanted to watch for nostalgia. I checked all the streaming services I have. None of them had it. I checked TPB. I had it in 1080p in five minutes.

This is not an unusual story. I mean the Matilda part but I feel like this is the exact same story for nearly everyone pirating things more frequently.
