I would use legal alternatives... Had they the content I want...
Right now, if I want to follow an anime in Europe? Maybe first season is in netflix, but second could be in crunchyroll (maybe), then half of the third is in an obscure and unknown service... And the other half is in Amazon prime.
I want to pay the legal alternative, what I won't do is subscribe to 6 different streaming services a month, that won't guarantee the availability of a show even after the first month and watching ads forcedly.
Piracy is a service problem. And with streaming, we have a huge service problem.
I also wouldn't mind paying - for a one-time purchase. Preferrably a DRMless one, otherwise I would still download a corresponding copy for actual unrestricted use.
it's so funny too, Netflix was the service solution. Netflix and Spotify being good for a while there was the biggest hit to piracy since it's inception.
