Piracy—particularly among adults with disposable income—is rarely about getting stuff for free so you don’t have to pay for it. It’s about getting stuff, period, that you know exists but aren’t allowed access to. Knicks games. European or Canadian TV series. Movies/shows at a particular quality level or release time. Whatever. Artificial barriers from media companies will be defeated by piracy, always and forever.
The smart companies will figure out a way to profit from demand. (I’ve paid quite a bit of money out of pocket, in addition to my cable bill, to stream MLB/Cubs games and full Tour de France stages the past few years. And I’m happy to do it: The product is great!) The dumb ones will whine about piracy.
