But you don't understand, if people stop pirating, the subscription prices will go down because of all the parasites who get it for free. The corporations would never just take the additional money and raise prices to get even more, right?

In fact, prices will go even HIGHER, because now you have no choice. Either pay $120 for cable or pay for streaming. Or read a book. Or go outside.

With no piracy, they can charge whatever they want. $50 a month Netflix incoming!
