When I was young and didn't have any money, piracy was how I could afford to watch what I wanted. But then I became an adult with a job, and paying money became a much more convenient way to watch what I wanted. I don't *completely* dismiss the ease-of-access argument, I think it contributes, but yes the big driver of piracy is people not having lots of money but still wanting to watch things.

I think this explains where a lot of former media pirates are.
