It has all the sources, the distributors are fighting over rights and they all end up on the torrent sites once released.

You’re expecting no piracy in this economy? /s
Too bad piracy sites are falling apart
People were defending Disney charging $30 on top of Disney+ fees to watch Mulan at release despite the average cost to rent movies that were still in theaters being set at $15-$20 for years because “its still cheaper than taking my kids to the theater”.
When nbc stripped Netflix of its most watched content to force their fans to use peacock those fans revolted against Netflix for losing content instead of nbc for forcing them to an inferior platform.
The general public is to blame for what streaming has become, because every single time we had a chance to stop it from getting worse we either attacked the wrong company, or defended the company doing us wrong.
It was better when networks made their money licensing content to Netflix, Hulu, and Amazon instead of every company trying to maintain their own failing streaming services while trying to snake customers from each other.
I live on the bottom end of the planet and all I wanted to do was watch David Tennant returning to Dr Who.
Assumed it was on Britbox. No.
Netflix. No.
Amazon. No.
Looked elsewhere….. only on @#%## Disney.
So they stole this from the global community like a bunch of pirates and are holding it to ransom so that I must pay them to watch something they had nothing to do with.
Then I was told there was another way 🤔
Its not Piracy, its sharing….’sharing is caring’
😀
It’s very simple. When everything is overpriced and it’s getting harder and harder to access, guess what happens?
If I can’t own a digital copy then piracy isn’t theft.

People are tired of getting gouged left and right for content. Piracy falls when media is cheap and convenient. Almost nobody pirates music anymore because of services like Spotify. Netflix had it right when they first launched streaming. But now that there is a dozen streaming services that get worse everyday, piracy is a better option
Streaming has turned into cable
If you make your products harder and less convenient to aquire people will resort to piracy.
Some guy wants to watch Mando but doesn’t want a full sub for D+ or shell out $60 for a single season on Blu ray (which was limited)? They’ll turn to piracy.
Someone wants to watch Willow which can’t be viewed anymore? More than certainly piracy
Give the consumer a convenient and lazy way to buy a product they will, it’s steam’s philosophy and worked in the early days of Netflix. Now this market has cannibalized itself thanks to Disney, Warner and Amazon.
I feel like seeder counts are still waaay lower than they used to be tho
