A new survey from Norway reveals that 50% of young people under 30 believe that pirating content is an acceptable way to save money. The survey, conducted by Ipsos, highlights that the high cost of streaming services is a key driver behind this attitude. Links between piracy and organized crime or malware, appear to be of less concern.

If you only leech and you're not a hoarder, it really doesn't require much. For most people there's not really any need to store every single piece of media they've ever consumed or hope to consume...some day...maybe. Or setup tools to automate their uncontrollable hoarding.

Oh God this is going to become the new "clearing away all grandpa's old Playboys and VHS tapes and newspapers," isn't it?

Use a password manager; keep the porn accounts in a separate password vault that can be disposed of. Keep the password in a safe and/or include it in your will in some way.

I'm going to have to take over my dad's setup someday and keep it running for my mom...
