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?

Actually, many old movies and shows are available on P2P networks, but the lack of seeders renders them inaccessible.

It depends on the movie, but I agree people do need to keep seeding more for those older, niche films.
