>At my home, we don't pirate but what we do is switching subscriptions from one service to the other every few months, which is unnecessarily annoying.
Which is probably closer to the norm. I rarely use torrents, not out of any great moral imperative, but because it's a pain, involves sketchy web sites, etc.
However, the fragmentation of video streaming is also annoying even though it's what lots of people supposedly wanted when they complained about the cable bundle. And, yes, the response will mostly be make do with a few services and either do without or buy a la carte for the rest or actively manage your current subscriptions. (Of course, a typical cable bill will pay for a lot of different services for cord cutters.)

A lot of that difficulty is an up front cost. Once people get annoyed with streaming options enough to start pirating, getting them to switch back to paid options is going to be even harder.
