Offering a clean, ad free, usable storefront to purchase media would do more to prevent piracy than anything.

But corpos dont like that.

That could've been iTunes if their interface didn't suck ass and if they didn't go for the subscription-only model in Apple Music.

I swear for years it was THE place to buy music. I mean I never did, I didn't have access to a card with online payments enabled as a teen, so I just pirated everything anyway. But it seemed like the default place.
