    The difference is that it is now much easier for people to capture video from streaming services, which means torrents are always available a few hours after the film/show goes online.

      I’ve been pirating media for the last 2 decades or more, and shows have always been available within minutes of when they were released. Copying a stream might be easier than setting up a capture card and recording a broadcast, but the wait time hasn’t really changed all that much.

        Maybe not for shows, but for film, I think it has. More films are released simultaneously to theaters and a streaming service, or available for streaming shortly after the theater release. I don’t watch nearly asany cam rips as I used to.
