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 only pirate movies and shows because I refuse to pay for 10 different streaming services, all of them want 8-15 euros/month. I pay for Spotify, I pay for Youtube Premium, I pay for Steam and GOG games, I pay for Gamepass... but video? Fuck that
Yeah, Spotify makes music piracy kinda pointless. Soulseek was cool at one point, but then everybody just made everything private. Nowadays if it's not on Spotify, it's an artist actually making money from sales and they should be supported.
