I would not be surprised if one day another type of payment is invented that makes piracy pointless.
Piracy become pointless when you can pay something like $1 To watch a high quality movie rather then watching a low quality one full of ad and pop ups popping out of nowhere
Yes its just matter to find the right price which makes the hassle and risk of going through illegal ways not worth anymore
Yes, if the fees to get the services will be low, I am sure piracy can be decreased and gradually gone.
Many people are collecting pirated movies in their Hardisk.
The distributer can earn thousands of dollars, because digital products which once produced can 1000times selled.
I see no contradiction to my first statement, people are willing to pay for good content.
