I torrent a lot of stuff, although I also buy a lot of stuff.
I buy a lot of games on steam, or g2a because it's cheaper, also have spotify, netflix and crunchyroll.
I mostly torrent things that I can't get in the UK, or games that I probably won't play much / might really suck. A lot of TV shows, America gets them before here, so I just download them to get them early.
But should it be legal? Definitely not.
