I used to pirate music, tv and movies a lot. Every hit show, every interesting album. For me the downsides were tied to the hassle of finding good quality streams, there wasn't much friction but there was enough that when streaming came along and I had the disposable income to afford it I went all in. Streaming will probably never be 90%+ of consumption but as long as it's a frictionless experience that is portable it will serve many.
