My utopia would just be a single reasonable paid service that provided everything. I pirate because its simply more convenient than 20 subscriptions.

Is this expectation unreasonable? If consumers look for a monopolized service then won't that service attempt to exploit the users? Just thinking out loud. I don't know what the solution is.
Unreasonable? Depends on what you consider reasonable. Yes absolutely they would try to exploit the users, in which case we go back to piracy. Perhaps a better solution would be federated content providers with some sort of combined (reasonable) fee determined by the providers collectively. We get one system to subscribe to, and pay one fee.
I'm living this utopia now.
How?
