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?

    Yeah, and I used it when it was even slower. With a seed-box, it’s fine. Just like in the 2000s when you had to download stuff overnight or wait a week. There are way fewer nodes in I2P than TOR nodes, but if it were to grow in popularity, speed wouldn’t be an issue anymore.

      Woah… I forgot about all that.

      Waking up to the latest AAA that was started 36hrs ago at 75.8kb/s.

      Of course it dropped to 0.9kb/s frequently, but it still downloaded.
