Piracy websites dont sell my data on what i like to watch.

They are good to avoid government surveillance.

How do you know what piracy websites do or don't do with your data?

It's hard to do anything with data you don't have in the first place.

I imagine they don't ask for it and they can't really force you to give it up so it's... better

Isn't this the same as companies dropping software support for Windows 7/8.1?

The $2500 worth of "purchases" were made inaccessible on the working device that she still owned.
