I think it ultimately depends on consumer needs/wantsif someone likes making backups, or wants to put the media they perchased on multiple formats for their own use (such as for a game console, or mp3 player, or both) and perchasing the same works multiple times may not be economical,I think the best way to to combat piracy is to encourage perchases, and make said purchases easier to use freely, I personally don't buy a lot of music, I usually just stream it in the background when I'm bored (off any music site or social network with a music feature), because its easier and takes up little to no filespace, but I do watch hulu, and when I had ad blocking, If I had a whitelist at the time, hulu was on it.
