      There are two ways to reduce piracy. Either make it easier to access content legally or make it harder to pirate. The former is significantly more effective than the latter. Taking down pirate streaming sites is a game of whack-a-mole and peer to peer won't go anywhere.

        That’s exactly it! The sad thing is that it’s more convenient to pirate than get 5+ subscriptions and an extra app on your phone to stay ahead of disappearing content.
