I think the state of software and media piracy have been in somewhat of a sweet spot. It’s technically illegal and not just every random person can easily find what they want. But those who are motivated enough to find the content and skirt the laws are able to do it.
This way the industry is still able to monetize and those without the resources can still get access with some effort.
I pirated like crazy growing up poor but internet savvy, but now that I’m a well paid professional it isn’t necessary and isn’t even worth the effort when I can just rent/buy.
