Not recently, but my view is that a big reason why they eased up on piracy was because we had the transition from cable/broadcast TV to streaming. There was a lot of competition, so the companies were focussed on each other.

We are rapidly approaching a point where there will be a handful of streaming/content companies that control everything, not just in the US, but the entire world. The more stable that market becomes, the more the execs will be forced to look elsewhere to grow profits (since they can’t win over viewers from traditional TV any more). That’s when attention will turn to piracy, and we’ll have a return to the anti-piracy efforts of the 00’s, but this time (in my opinion) it’ll be worse.

It doesn’t have to be rational for them, i.e. it won’t matter that it actually loses them money going after pirates. It just matters that they can tell their board/shareholders “we would have a bajillion more in profits if it wasn’t for those pirates, who we’re actively pursuing”.
