What does a post-piracy world look like? (lemm.ee)

I believe we're approaching the final 3-5 years of prevalent piracy for several reasons:

Software: The difficulty of cracking and modifying software has significantly increased.
Movies and TV Shows: Numerous streaming sites have been shut down or faced legal penalties.
Adult Content: New releases are often removed within 1-5 weeks, and many older titles are no longer available on piracy platforms.

Given these trends, what might a post-piracy world entail?

I've also felt that the age of piracy is coming to an end and subsequently have begun hoarding a lifetime worth of content. I have 32 TB to fill and I'm halfway there. My taste is mostly older movies and shows, so I want to ensure that I have access to them forever.

I've struggled to find resources for adult content, though, so that's a point of concern. I'm open to suggestions.

Torrents and usenet my dude. Unless you're looking for something real specific like Brazilian balloon popper fart porn, you'll find something.
