Running i2p or Tor isn't that challenging and demand drives innovation. I could see one-click solutions taking off in a few months if people were willing to pay a few bucks a month to download basically anything the dark web can offer.

    Exactly this. Streaming was a thing long time before Netflix, but they made it so damn easy.

    Now Netflix fucked it, and streaming piracy became so damn easy that more people did it than before.

    If they close down piracy streaming/download, guess what. Dark web access, or i2p maybe, will be so damn easy.

    People are willing to do it, if there's no service that's worth it's money.

    Piracy is a service issue. Most of us would pay, if the service is good enough.
