Piracy is a result of a service problem. I would gladly pay a reasonable fee monthly for access to any and every show I want to watch. I'm for sure am not going to pay for 12 different streaming services so I can watch severance on one, the office on another, the wire on a third when I can just download it for free.
Hell I would pay a pirate a monthly amount just to have seamless turnkey access. But the level of effort is so low these days that honestly there's no reason to pay for streaming.
I agree with the above, but I also want to be able to buy movies. I love having video-files on my storage server. I want to support the creators of the movies that I like. I wish I could go to flowthemovie.com and buy a DRM-free copy of the movie.
I don't pirate games, because I don't have to thanks to GoG. I don't pirate music because I don't have to thanks to Bandcamp. I wish movies could be that easy.
