I believe it was Gabe Newell who said the best way to avoid piracy is by making legitimate purchasing easier and/or better.

In the early history of streaming services, you could get access to a lot of content in a straightforward way for not much money. People started doing that instead of pirating. The corporations got greedy, they made the services worse and increased the price to the point that piracy is preferable again.

And I don’t have the least amount of sympathy. Yarr matey.

With the advent of self hosted streaming services and the arr services the option is even easier now. If 1 in 20 ppl are motivated/tech savvy that’s 20 streaming products not being paid for.

What would be the technology behind my own streaming platform?

So far I do it very old school with data on my Nas and a software that catalogs and plays over Lan only.
