My SO just set up a new account because of Netflix's new policies. Like it or not, it's working out well for Netflix
Before Netflix took hold, piracy was extremely accessible.
Even the less tecy savvy could easily download a client and there were numerous websites with ease to multiple files. Google search was throwing out torrent files in the hundreds.
Now since Netflix, that activity had died down and people wanted the convenience of being able to stream anywhere and ease of access. Piracy became limited to those that only really want to do it.
Now if these activities push it, the floodgates may reopen and people may start coming up with even easier ways to pirate. Kodi for example becoming super easy to access.
Sonarr, radarr jellyfin, Komi, plex. There’s lists of help to make it even more convenient these days.
