Hope it goes up more
I'm torn. I think everybody should fight back the predatory practices of the entertainment industry. But the more mainstream the piracy practices become, the more crackdown there's gonna be, and the more of a hassle it's gonna be to find pirated content.
If enough people pirate, there will be popular support for reforming copyright, so eventually there's less crackdown
The corpos will get rid of copyright when it becomes inconvenient. Like when they want to use copywritten data to train AI models.
Popular support rarely changes anything. Money talks to power, people talk to themselves
