I've noticed a lot of college aged kids in particular becoming much more anti-piracy. About textbooks even. I've heard reports of people being kicked off of private discord servers for sharing a link to the course textbook. Somehow the PR campaign has gained some traction. I hope it's not a foothold.

That's news to me. I work in tertiary education and the kids coming through now are less tech literate but generally appreciate piracy for everything from visual media to educational material, largly because cost of living has risen, financial support for students has decreased, and income has stagnated or decreased meaning if previous generations were unwilling those now are flat unable to pay for things. What I have noticed is younger folks tend to be smarter about knowing what to say, when and in what context, in a post privacy world.
