Remember Piracy is a service issue Nobody was pirating shit back when Spotify and Netflix had reasonable prices and reliable service Now all the streaming platforms are 40% buffering and 30% advertisements, and they randomly delete your favorite stuff

I quit pirating things during that time. However, I feel like you need 6 TV streaming services, and Spotifys algorithm is payola bullshit now. Needless to say I’m a shameless pirate again. Support your favorite artists in more meaningful ways like buying physical copies, going to concerts, and buying merch.

Piracy was substantially lower up until the past decade give or take a few years.

I mean, I’d say piracy also got easier in the past decade aswell. More options so more ppl turned to it

Yeah, and people went through the trouble of building those options because official sources stopped being convenient. Before, if you wanted to pirate a movie, you had to have a vpn, know what sites are safe, find a working download, and then wait until it downloaded, however long the torrent took. Now you just pull up Stremio and hit play, the same way Netflix USED to work. Why would they build that? Clearly not for money, clearly not for data.

i mean if u look at the stats of pirating sure some people will do it anyway but the vast majority of people will pay for the service if it’s reasonable and a reasonable cost
