  You're assuming that current content doesn't tend to drive out the older content. Piracy works a lot better for popular new material than for obscure older material. (The Simpsons is popular enough that this may not apply but torrents don't work very well for mostly obscure works.)

    I think the GP is just pointing that physical media mostly doesn't exist anymore, and even when it does, DRM means it's not durable.

      >physical media mostly doesn't exist anymore It mostly does. Of course, that will certainly change over time.
