I should have seen it coming. I mean, to a certain extent I did see it coming. I'm talking, of course, about the 'entitlement' argument. Because, in case you haven't had it hammered into you via years of millennial 'think' pieces about everything from house prices to education, everyone born between 1980 and five minutes ago is "entitled".

A quick rewind: last week we published this story. 'I refuse to feel guilty for torrenting Game Of Thrones'. It struck a chord.

Torrenting Game of Thrones and stealing a car are not even remotely the same thing.

Context: as a result of licensing agreements, the only way Australian consumers are able to legally watch Game of Thrones at the same time as the rest of the world is via Foxtel. Literally the cheapest way to do this is by subscribing to Foxtel Play for $30 a month. This is considered a 'deal' by Foxtel; a one-time only offer.

Foxtel Play, in my experience, was a sub-standard, sub-HD experience. I once watched a movie using Foxtel Play and gave up halfway through because the app had crashed five times. This, combined with the incredible difficulty I had actually paying for the service in the first place, had left me pretty bummed on the idea of paying Foxtel a meaty monthly fee to watch the one show they were holding hostage. The end result: I refuse to feel guilty for torrenting Game of Thrones.
