I think you should be cautious about extending today’s pattern about piracy (ie they are already high consumers) to a scenario where piracy was easy and safe for distributors.

The piracy wac-a-mole game makes piracy somewhat difficult for an average person.

If it were as easy and safe as Netflix then everyone would pirate, and it would have a major impact on the entertainment industry.

I imagine piracy enforcement is done to keep it in check, not prevent it from happening at all.
