Yeah, "pirating" has been reduced by easy, cheap access to streaming. Most people just pay for Netflix and are more than happy.
The only real downside to Netflix is that many great films aren't being seen because they're not available on it. Netflix content is made up of a few good films and tons of shitty trash movies and even shittier TV shows. It's unfortunate to see great films going unnoticed because Netflix is just so easy and affordable.

Where's the evidence that it's declined? Most of the stuff that is pirated is brand new movies and TV shows, stuff you can't get via Netflix. So I think until studios make that content available over the web, there will always be filesharing.

Well, none of us have any stats to back up our argument, but here's my opinion: Total number of internet users is growing rapidly (now estimated at 3 billion!) so even if there are more people torrenting (which I don't think is true) I'd argue that the numbers of torrenters is not growing at the same rate. This can't be blamed on Netflix and streaming alone. I'd think the larger cause would be the growth in numbers of people who are using a mobile device as their only personal internet device, or for the vast majority of their internet usage.

Yeah that's probably true...some guy in remote part of Africa isn't going to be torrenting 3GB movies on his phone. But I think Netflix also reaches a different audience to an extent. It's more for the casual/mainstream user, whereas people who are slightly more technical are the ones downloading torrents (and probably also have a Netflix account).

Kickass is starting to suck for TV, what are people using now?
- ********0
There's all these streaming media devices and services for $99 and as low as $39. I think they might be worth taking a look.

what the f is going on w it these days? Seems to always be offline
- It's their Cloudflare setup - implemented, ironically enough, so they couldn't get pulled offline. Almost everything I need is on kickass nowadays.face_melter
