Why is that? You can download everything for free. I don't think people use Netflix to access otherwise inaccessible content but rather because it's more convenient than searching for the right torrent link. Convenient, but also relatively affordable to do things the legal way. Back in the day when torrenting was popular, even among the general population, most new albums would cost 15-20 Euro, getting a movie season was 30-40 Euro. Now you can get as much music is you need for 10 Euro per month. The situation with video streaming is a bit more complex, because the market is fragmented, but regardless you can pick your service and watch quite a lot of material for 10 Euro per month. If you have to spend 50 Euro per month to get fresh music, torrenting looks far more attractive than when it's 10 Euro per month.
