    Did video piracy ever really falter?

    Even semi popular movies and shows are always available in a range of qualities, going up to extremely high quality if you get on a private tracker.

    Rarbg shutting down was the biggest hit imo, but still lots of options.

      It never went away but lots of people I know who did all that stopped bothering.

      When the range in netflix went down, fees went up and everybody launched different services, I was really thinking of sailing but it was Netflix blocking sharing that was the final straw.

      I’ve noticed over the last few years that you can always find new releases but “old” material is increasingly unavailable. .

      Want the new super hero movie that released last week? Easy.

      Want 1984’s “The Last Starfighter”? Good luck…

      Content has always been available, but the number of people pirating decreased. It’s now having a resurgence.
