Piracy is and always has been a service issue. When a high quality, convenient, affordable service is provided on a consistent basis without endless bullshit, I have no problem paying.

When it constantly feels like I’m being bled dry for every single cent I have just to watch some TV…. Well, arrrrgh

I buy the blu ray versions of stuff I want to support

If pirating is easier than paying for it then why am I paying for it? Note I have been paying for Netflix, HBO, Amazon and one/off Hulu and Apple but they’re all pushing the limits and password sharing is the only way to make it worth it. If I can’t share the price (like sharing phone plans) then I won’t pay. I don’t want to pirate, I’m happy to pay them but there are limits.
