A-GREED!

Starz is running free preview starting tomorrow for 4 days on DirecTV and I rarely take part in watching because the torrents provide all I need for movie watching. Peerblock has kept me safe for 6 years proactively blocking 2.8 billion IPs. I'm a network engineer and know my security. Tor might be technically "more secure" but that technology is for rampant, leeching pirates that never contribute back and always just take take take. Some exceptions of course; perhaps for MrGuss. :)

I just don't see people paying 9 bucks a month for ONLY MOVIES that they can get when they actually want to watch them or have time to watch them by using Redbox. As for the technical peeps out there, 9 bucks vs the plethora of avenues to acquire free movies.

Why do they have to have so many premium channels? With everything costing more every year most of the average customers cannot afford Starz. I still live paycheck to paycheck. I would love to be able to see Outlander. I fell in love with it last season after finding a legal site to watch it. It's the only one I watch and I refuse to pay for Starz if there is only one program I want to see.
