It also requires the server to be up (which requires the provider to be solvent and the infrastructure to be maintained) and the provider to have legal rights to the content you're looking for, be incentivized to offer it to you (be that through ad revenue, subacription, or commonly, both,) and to not be run by jackass media executives prone to playing games with one series's availability in hopes of boosting viewership numbers for another series they think it might be competing with. But, y'know, other than *that...!*
