Piracy will never be eradicated. Stupid people throw millions at a problem that will always outlast them. We’ll sooner find the cure for mortality than solve piracy. But even if there was a solution (and even if one was needed), mass censorship and surveillance is… to put it in such words as to not get me infracted… less than a stellar solution.
I live in a third world ■■■■■■■■ and if it weren’t for piracy I wouldn’t have ever watched or played anything until a decade ago. Pirates are not lost sales as the majority would never have bought the game in the first place. In addition to this, there are several studies that have shown that the people who engage in piracy the most nowadays are the people who spend the most money on games anyway (Talking specifically about video games where this is the most prevalent).
Overall, the whole “war on piracy” is deluded, futile, unnecessary and can be at best compared to a gigantic money laundering scheme for scum like Denuvo Inc.
