Generally it's agreed the best way to stop piracy is by offering a more convenient alternative. I generally for example don't pirate video games available on Steam. With streaming services being so disjoint and expensive now I've gone back to pirating, at least with cable you can bundle channels.

For about the same price as it currently costs to bundle all the major streaming platforms. Plus, cable never had anything near the amount of content we have now on streaming.

I think people who compare cable to streaming don't remember what it was like before streaming
