Streaming services should be required to provide free access where they are allowed to put ads at the beginning and only once or twice depending length and not cutting a scene. And maybe free access could be limited to a number of episodes.

Anyway my point is be real, some people won't pay because they can't or because you don't want to subscribe to 10 streaming sites. Especially when sometimes there is only one anime, tv shows you are interested in. So real solutions should be found if companies really wants to fight piracy...

For Tv shows piracy has never been so low as when Netflix had reasonable price and was the only one. It offered a real alternative and people where willing to pay for it.
I also believe crunchyroll do a lot of good as it has a quasi monopoly but it's starting to erode with Netflix and Disney starting to get animes. ๐Ÿ˜•
