Well, pirate movies arent nearly as prevalent as they were in the first half of the 20th century, but despite the best efforts of CUTTHROAT ISLAND, i doubt they’ll ever go away comletely.

Cant speak to WB, Sony or Lionsgate but Disney’s PIRATES OF THE CARIBBEAN franchise has grossed $4,524,439,761 as of DEC 2018.

Yeah, I personally like pirate movies. I wouldn't want them to be stopped...

Some of the Pirates of the Caribbean movies and even Captain Phillips with Tom Hanks. I like 'em.

Lol, I don't think they make money off of it. Pretty sure they lose money from it.

The more we have places like DC and Marvel creating all these netflix alternatives the more we're going to see piracy. Most people aren't gonna pay to have 8,000 different netflix-like services, so they'll torrent the shows they are interested in on any streaming service they don't have. Especially if it's only one or two shows in total.

Pretty much. Corporate greed in the short term gets in the way of long term profits.

Can't really be stopped, whenever one site goes down two others rise in it's place, like the the heads of the hydra.

Supposedly the film industry lost 30+ billion in 2018 due to piracy. I believe the lion's share of that loss is from the Asian market.

They do try to stop it. They complain to internet service providers.

^ This.

With Comcast/Infinity: Every time some entity (eg Warner Bros, Sony, Paramount etc)) sends a complaint to Comcast saying "X" IP address using your service illegally downloaded and/or shared some content, Comcast sends an auto-email to the user. Six complaints in a given time-frame and Comcast sends an official warning. Three official warnings and Comast will suspend your account for a month (or more), enough suspensions and they'll cancel your service.

Using a VPN usually stops this, as it blocks others from seeing the IP address, even your ISP doesn't know what you're downloading exactly, they just see that you're using their service through a 3rd party or country and "X" amount of data being transferred.

I don't think Comcast cares, they just legally have to warn their users of an infraction and take some action that shows they at least tried to stop you with warnings and suspensions, as they're not legally bound to inform the complainer of who you are, meaning Sony or Lars Ulrich can't personally sue you. At least they weren't before, that might have changed with current US internet laws/regulations.
