Joke's on them, now it's easier to get high quality pirated content since it's all on streaming services. A bunch more pirates compete on encoding quality and the best win, giving you more options, better qualities, and faster releases with high seed counts. As a bonus, most subtitles work for different releases since they're all from the same source. Between that, storage space costs going all the way down, and all the corporate greed leading to N streaming services with expensive subscription costs, it's the Plex/Jellyfin golden era. I'm currently serving about 40 friends and family with my Plex/*arr setup, and I'm about to add Tdarr to the mix to move everything over to HEVC and save up some disk space.
