This is attempting to fix something that is already fixed.

Morally I want to pay for everything I use. I music production I own a license for everything I use or demo. It is very simple to pirate plugins (Kayne West pirated DeadMau5's Serum plugin) https://www.billboard.com/articles/news/dance/6897291/deadma...

In the past it was impossible to pay for content and the only place it was available was on torrents. It wasn't available and now people just pay for streaming services because it is available. Also it is just easier to use streaming services.

That's not quite true. I pay for streaming services, and when it comes to music, I can find 99% of what I want on said streaming services. For video though, even if you have Netflix, Amazon video, Google Play and HBO now, there are still a number of movies and TV shows you don't legally have access to. That, and last I checked, the software for HBO now was pretty crap, I couldn't get it to stream on my Chromecast. Amazon video also refused to build in Chromecast support because they want to sell you their own device.

Sure there are always going to be a ton of exceptions but we are light years past where we were just 5 years ago.
