Piracy is a service problem.
Provide a good enough service and people won't want to pirate. Anyone that still does in that scenario probably was never going to be a sale anyway.
Provide a bad service and people who would have happily paid get pushed towards piracy. The more people pirating, the better the tools get as you say.
People just want all their shit in one place for a reasonable fee.
It's not rocket science, they already were there back when Netflix was new, they just let it get shit.
One problem with this is that monopolies are bad.
I'm not sure what the ideal solution is. It's not "12 different services each charging $12/month" though.
I don't think regular capitalism can really solve this.
Compete on the service. All streamers have access to stream essentially whatever and they compete on price, quality and value added service.
Music streaming is almost there imo, if they paid the artists more, you want the highest quality? Go to tidal. You want infinite playlists? Deezer flow is where to go. You want podcasts? Spotify... I kid, Spotify's ease of conectivity is an industry envy. But they all have, essentially, the same music, if you allow essentially to do some work.
Exactly, most of my irl friends pirate shows/tv but they all have spotify. Im considered "extra" by them for pirating music
