I have a Netflix connection and I am in Finland. 98% of the time, when I search for a movie/documentary/series on Netflix, it's unavailable for streaming (mostly because the content for Netflix Finland is far less than that for US). Then, I have to head over to PirateBay to get the stuff. It's the fastest way. I could order a DVD from Amazon UK or Germany, but then it would take at least a week.

As long as content producers and distributors fail to find a faster way to distribute their offerings, I think piracy will continue and grow.

Startup idea: A for pay private tracker with deals with the media industry.

You could track seeds, peers, etc, and pay the media companies a license per peer (whatever). Could probably get a good picture of piracy of each piece of content as well.
