Honestly I often feel the whole piracy problem is less a problem then more a symptom for a discrepancy between how "classical" content providers want us to consume the content and how everyone else want to consume the content.

Without questions there are some areas where piracy is a real problem like:

- "free" (ad income) content of small content creators pirated on youtube and reuploaded on facebook (or one of the many other variations of this problem)

- maybe very good blockbuster movies most people would actually have buyed even if slightly expensive

- movies released _before_ there official release (through this is more a cybersecurity problem then a piracy one)

But at last for all people in my environment the coming of services like Netflix, Amazon Prime, Crunchyroll, Spotify, and well regular Steam Sales and Humble Bundle cured them from any intend of illegal downloading content.
