    The strange thing, to me atleast, is that you can even just stream shows and movies on websites like bflix with subtitles for every language. I have friends and family that would pay netflix their left leg if they asked them to. And now they’re stuck with a bunch of subscriptions to multiple streaming services because everything is split between multiple platforms.

      Is there any risk to streaming movies in bflix? Do you need anything special to use that site (like a VPN)? There is a little knowledge barrier to doing things like this.

        Honestly not really. Torrents expose your ip directly to everyone downloading and uploading the torrent. But only the website itself sees your ip. Companies will join the torrent and add your ip to a list. Then ask your isp to send you a notice. With a website, companies cant see who is watching on a streaming website.
