Meh. Netflix would not affect piracy because their offer is very small. Netflix is good if you're an American and not very into movies. As soon as you are looking for something outside the "very mainstream" you're out of luck.
Your "I can already download everything on Netflix from my friendly local piracy site" works, but the other way around doesn't. I've been a Netflix user for years, but I'm on the verge of unsubscribing, because I realized that since January I've only watched House of Cards.

- gshulegaard 10y ago> Netflix would not affect piracy because their offer is very small. I question this assertion as Netflix used to use torrent trends as a decision input for deciding what content to purchase: https://torrentfreak.com/netflix-uses-pirate-sites-to-determine-what-shows-to-buy-130914/ https://torrentfreak.com/netflix-uses-pirate-sites-to-determ... I can also offer anecdotal evidence that the piracy rates of my college social network dramatically decreased as the affordability and content quality of Netflix increased. Netflix is being squeezed by media publishers which is why they started publishing their own content. I still hope that streaming services like Netflix will win and reshape the market...but it is a difficult fight. On the note of you only having watched "House of Cards", there are a bunch of Netflix shows I could recommend for you if you're interested. "Peaky Blinders" comes to mind immediately since we are due for another season at the end of this month.
