I am sure you still have same number of those more advanced users, but now far more people have access to computers because they are cheaper and easier to use. That may be about it.

I don't know, but in France people got scared by "HADOPI" which was a government organization to find people sharing files, and like they were sending you e-mails if caught! And if caught a second time, BAM a paper letter! Scary! Then I think there was something like cutting your internet, not sure it ever happened.
I just don't use torrents anymore, I use xdcc. I used to torrent, but there is so much ransomware, ISP threats, malware, ect. I still use torrents for official things like Linux Isos or Gimp though. Gen z here
Gen X here. I agree torrents are for legit uses only
Usenet is the best for piracy
Wait until they hear we have bots doing it all for us
That's why they made streaming media. Worked good, didn't it?
I remember having a torrent client set up was a great way to become popular back in 2010
