Hilarious. Regardless, piracy will not die in 2018 and I doubt it ever will. It's just submerging away from the mainstream and it'll probably only be for the people who actually don't depend on TPB to torrent things.

Nah
Privacy's already dead dude. The NSA is watching you, your ISP is watching you, and companies are watching you. Walk outside and look up. If you live in a city-ish area, you'll see cameras, tons of them. The government has those too. The government has been using drones as well since 2013. Google and Facebook have been analyzing everything you put through them. Think you can escape Google? You'd have a hard time doing so, since millions of websites use Google Analytics and/or Google AdWords. Even if you did escape Google, you have to escape the NSA. Good luck with that, considering that the NSA is a part of the NIST, which is the group that controls the encryption standards. If they control the encryption, then SSL is useless against them. The NSA has backdoored encryption functions in the past, and there's no reason why they won't do it again.

Privacy is long gone, and Snowden wasn't the beginning or end.
