Why do people use a crappy site with wait times and tons of adverts when they could use torrents?

Why do people use crappy Torrents where you have to share the same file back again and where you can be tracked when they could use News Servers?

How does stealing privately owned content have anything to do with taxes (which I'm assuming you're referring to)?

Steve Jobs didnt need a body guard, why would this dodgy oke need a bodyguard? Company based in Hong Kong? I smell the fumes of money laundering in the morning.
