As long as piracy is easier than obtaining something legally, I'll continue to do it. I stopped pirating music, because Spotify is much much nicer to use and gives a better experience overall. I stopped pirating games since steam is nice. I almost stopped pirating movies when Netflix came out. Only pirated some extremely niche stuff. But now I'm back in the high seas, baby!
I think I'll be pirating until the economy gets better. And I don't mean wall street, I mean when the average person get paid enough to have extra money for entertainment stuff. Aint nobody gonna pay for a netflix subscription every month or $70 for a game that could still have bugs, people got food to buy, bills to pay.
You want less piracy? Simple. Just give people a higher quality of life.
Mate, 95% of the world's population lives in worse conditions than US, what higher quality of life are you talking about?
95% of Western Europe has better qol than the US
So?
