Do you use any paid services, like Pandora One, Spotify, Netflix, etc? Do you think they're worth the money, and why did you sign up for them in the first place?
 
I use Netflix. I used to think they where a rip off until they got a Anime section

I use Spotify. I currently have the free version. The only benefit you get out of paying a subscription on Spotify is you don't have adverts in between songs and that is it. I would highly recommend getting the free version. 🙂

I also have Spotify, but I have premium. You can also create offline playlists, which is pretty great if you have songs that you'd rather download at home over WiFi, so you don't have to download them using your data!
 
I have Spotify Premium and Netflix. I do not know why I still have Netflix because I can't recall watching anything on it in a few months.

Google Play Music here. Back when I was a Telstra customer, I was using Mog (http://mog.com) - as it's unmetered on Telstra. Then they went to Beats Music, and Mog sort of fell over, and I migrated out to Google Play Music. I have uploaded my whole library, and can search for new songs on a whim. It's great.
 
I have several.

Netflix, Spotify Premium, Hulu Plus, Adobe Creative Cloud.

I think it comes to around $40/month with all of them.
 
At the moment, I only use Netflix. I've been using their services for a few months now. I've been thinking about getting a crunchyroll premium membership for a while now, too. 😛

It's really not that bad when you consider what you get from all of them. Especially if you don't have to buy music or pay for TV anymore, you're probably saving quite a bit of money.

What comes with their premium membership? I've heard of crunchyroll before but I'm not into anime, so I'm pretty unfamiliar with their site.
 
I have Playstation Plus but that's pretty well it for subscription services.

I'm not all that concerned with Pandora or Hulu because they're pretty much US only. Netflix (Canada), I've been told, has significantly less content compared to it's US version (and I don't feel like paying for less content or trying to mask location with a VPN or whatever... even if only the one time, it's still something I just don't feel like messing with).
I don't really listen to that much music in the first place so spotify (or Pandora if it worked in Canada) isn't really worth it for me to go for premium.
 
I use Netflix (paid for by family), Spotify (paid for by myself), and Adobe Creative Cloud (paid for by my Nonprofit). They're all pretty useful and I honestly wouldn't mind paying for all of them if I had to. 😛

I also used to have Crunchyroll and am actually considering resubscribing to finish some shows I was watching.

In addition, I also play The Elder Scrolls Online, which is another $15 a month.

The answer to watching/streaming films I use http://m.movietube.co/ It is a highly popular site. It is legal because they display adverts within the movies. They put all of the latest movies on there. I hope this helps

That is not legal at all. 😛

I have Spotify premium bundled into my mobile. Paid an extra $10/mo instead of $13. Well worth it. I'm considering Netflix when it arrives in NZ but I feel like it will be a very diluted offering.
 
I have Netflix and Amazon Prime. Prime is actually cheaper and more up-to-date than Netflix. Plus, I'm pretty sure they're going to run the digital shows in the long Scheme of things...
 
I mostly buy movies, etc. from Amazon Instant Video. I also have Amazon Prime. Finally, I listen to a LOT of audibooks from audible.
