The way forward is to offer good services at a decent price so people use that instead of pirating. Spotify for instance converted a lot of mp3 pirates to paying customers which also passed on some cash to the music labels which they were not getting before. The same with Netflix.
Yet the MAFIAA (MPAA and RIAA) are always attacking the various legal services in various ways, be it asking for silly high royalties or by withholding content from them. Even paying customers who signup for video streaming in another country as things appear there faster are now having their VPN's blocked. So instead of paying they will go back to pirating. It's stupid.
The media corporations are the reason piracy continues to be such an issue with all their silly licencing agreements. They can fix it but they won't, in the name of generating more profits although it is debatable as to if they achieve that.
