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.
the more pirating there is the more incentive there is to find ways around the crackdown too so wouldn't be too worried. also they will presumably stop when they understand that pirating does not decrease when you increase crackdowns (or does not increase because of less crack downs).
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
What can they possibly do to private trackers?
Infiltrate them to track users like they already do now. And if your answer to that is ''VPN'', there are already countries where these are forbidden by law, what's to stop them from being outlawed in more countries in the future.
