Yup. Top 2 reasons I became a pirate again after not being a pirate since maybe 15 years ago:
#1 I literally couldn't give someone money to watch/listen to what I wanted
#2 I was paying someone money to watch/listen to something and then they removed it
Even popular things like Saturday Night Live are still impossible to acquire legally in my country.
Edit: Forgot another point that became very annoying, the show is available but not with the subtitles I want and/or need. For example, watching a Swedish TV show on Spanish Netflix doesn't let me have English subtitles for example. But if I use Swedish Netflix, it would work, but technically breaking Netflix's ToS. Content rights have completely fucked up the user experience.
