I believe we’re approaching the final 3-5 years of prevalent piracy for several reasons:
-
Software: The difficulty of cracking and modifying software has significantly increased.
-
Movies and TV Shows: Numerous streaming sites have been shut down or faced legal penalties.
-
Adult Content: New releases are often removed within 1-5 weeks, and many older titles are no longer available on piracy platforms.
Given these trends, what might a post-piracy world entail?
Yarr, mateys, all sails to the Public Library! We’ll drop anchor at the secondhand bookshop on our way back! And drop all that electronic ballast, it’s only slowing us down…
You are absolutely right; I hadn’t thought of it this way but a post-piracy world should be a frugal one, could be a quiet one. A planet-friendly one.
