Piracy will always be an arms race. The only way they can end it is by solving the problems that drive people to it. The size of the Internet is too large to block. I know I stopped piracy for 5 years because everything was accessible on Netflix and Hulu. Now all these streaming services I picked it back up.

Yeah, I'm heading back towards it as well.

Cancelled Prime because half the content has ads now, and the rest are getting ads next year.

What I want is one service, all mainstream content (no longer in cinemas, a few months after the disc release), for around £30/mo. 4K, HDR, good audio. I'm really not asking much. It's got to the point where I want to watch something specific, check justwatch and find that either the only way to get it is to rent it for twice the price of buying the disc, or that none of them have it.

They need to learn from the music services. Music was the most pirated stuff a few years back, but now I just have Spotify and can listen to whatever, whenever. I don't need 3 services, and fuck around looking for stuff.
