That's mostly a problem with the current laws in place, which encourage the creation of these frivolous services. For example, let's say piracy was legal, who would need to get a new job? Software developers, filmmakers and musicians, mostly. If you think about it, the only reason why musicians/software developers make any money at all is because threat that we will be thrown in jail if we pirate the product (and the culture that "piracy is bad"). Given, there are trivial ways of getting around this barrier, but the fact of the matter is that nobody can officially sponsor a centralized service that you pay for that pirates content and make it extremely convenient. If piracy was legal, the free software movement would have the most ground, because most people wouldn't be making any money off of the software anyway. Microsoft would go bankrupt. Apple probably would suffer a huge hit, but they would probably survive due to the fact that they manufacture their own hardware. So both would likely release the source code to the public if they want to hold any market share at all. People would be able to legally sell jailbroken iPhones and Android phones with cyanogenmod installed by default for a fraction of the cost. And provide support. Nobody would be making these shitty iPhone game apps like Candy Crush because there would be no money in it. Instead they would be making software for individual companies that are solving actual problems, like those self-checkout machines at the grocery stores for example. Most software development would instead be a hobby instead of being completely overvalued the way it currently is.
