Piracy ends when content is offered in a convenient fashion. It's always been this simple and always will be. Naturally, rich and out of touch people want to believe that more authoritarianism is the solution, because they got rich through their contempt for humanity, so why should this be any different?
The thing is, as we learned with Netflix (and... everything lately), even if it starts off convenient and reasonable, that will last only long enough that they think they've cornered the market. So unless something changes to guarantee an ongoing reasonable proposition, i will never trust them again.
Yes, i'll be very weary of giving up the control I have through physical drives and jellyfin for some shiny new thing that will never last. Fool me once... etc. etc.
