Yes, I said Windows 10 MAY be the OS responsible for killing piracy. Not all at once, of course.
Why would I even say this? It seems that Microsoft's little change in Microsoft's Service Agreement that states the OS may download updates and changes to prevent users from "playing counterfeit games" has torrent trackers upset.
Torrent trackers have to be paranoid to stay in business. This paranoia leads them to believe that Microsoft will scan their disks and send the contents to Anti-piracy groups. Several torrent trackers for pirate sites have already announced that they will ban Windows 10 OS, and you won't be able to browse their sites or link to torrents that are tracked by them. Even more torrent trackers are considering the same action. If they continue this action, then as more and more people get on Windows 10, then torrents will become less and less available. If Windows 10 becomes as prolific as Windows 7 currently is, which shouldn't take too long to happen, then even those currently trying to engage in the piracy will have difficulty due to a lack of seeds for torrents. (Look up how torrents work if you don't understand that. This isn't a "how-to".)
While I am sure that many pirates will find ways around this and to block it, there may be enough torrent trackers who are paranoid to eventually be forced out of business over it.
Perhaps Microsoft has found the cure for piracy by announcing this change, which is created a cry across the internet of an invasion of privacy by Microsoft. Is it really an invasion of privacy? I have found that the people who are crying the loudest are the ones who have "non-genuine software and games" or are listening to those who do. The only privacy they are genuinely concerned about is the fact that Microsoft may have taken steps to prevent them from obtaining pirated materials.
