I don't think it's that deep. I am in the Gabe Newell camp that believes making things difficult to access leads to increase in piracy. Nobody pirates music anymore because most of it is available on a couple of platforms and more importantly there is none of the exclusivity stuff that exists with VOD providers.

There's some (e.g. Apple exclusives), and a lot of people seem to rip music from Youtube.
