The problem is that to be able to watch everything you actually want to see, you need Netflix, Prime, Sky and some US ones we cannot even access in the UK.

If you only needed to pay for one source, you would eliminate a lot of illegal sharing.
Exactamundo. Netflix helped reduce piracy because it was the one service you needed to mostly cover all your viewing needs. Now that everyone and their dog are pulling things from Netflix and setting up their own exclusive streaming service, it's turning into a mess of providers and there isnt a hope in hell people will subscribe to many of them. Piracy will increase again, and its the fault of the big corporations just mindlessly making a land-grab for more profits.
