I believe we're approaching the final 3-5 years of prevalent piracy for several reasons:

Software: The difficulty of cracking and modifying software has significantly increased.
Movies and TV Shows: Numerous streaming sites have been shut down or faced legal penalties.
Adult Content: New releases are often removed within 1-5 weeks, and many older titles are no longer available on piracy platforms.

Given these trends, what might a post-piracy world entail?

Honestly my friends ask me tonnes of questions like this, including "what happens when AI takes over", or "when everything mines your data".

I don't think people realise how close me as an IT person is to going and living in an off grid cabin in the woods.

Your friends will find you wherever you are and will continue asking you such questions. There is no escape.

Doubt.

I could disappear and my friends wouldn't be able to find me again.
