Personally I could trivially afford to pay triple for all the media I consume but I still mostly pirate it.

In Switzerland the media companies just make it so hard, and piracy is so easy. And I'm just not willing to jump through hoops for this shit.

If it's a small independent filmmaker I will make _some_ effort to try and pay for it but usually it's just not worth my time.

Gimme a website where I can hand over $10-$20 and easily watch a film on my TV and I'll happily pay. This was easy with 2000s tech. But the industry is too up it's own arse to deliver something this simple.
