But there's so much else to pirate: games, books, music, roms. There's a wide world of content out there! (Obligatory don't pirate stuff, visit your local library and ask a librarian to hook you up. Or do. Whatever, IAALIANYL[I Am A Librarian I Am Not Your Librarian.])

    I'm not saying what people should do, I'm just reporting on trends.

    Pirate streaming is the bulk of piracy. Especially when you include sports. Most people just aren't tech savvy enough for torrents anymore. The next generation never learned computers. They don't torrent.

    But yeah, libraries are great. I just wish they carried audio books in better formats sometimes. My car doesn't even have a disk drive OR a cassette player. I drive a lot for work, so that's how I read and libraries often leave me disappointed for that.

    My car has an aux input cable, so I use a bluetooth-to-aux dongle to play audio from my phone. I I rip CDs to mp3s, then dutifully delete the mp3s after I return the library book. Before I got the dongle, I just played from my phone at a high volume.

    Oh! If your library has a Libby or Hoopla subscription, you might get audio books through there.
