The access hasn't changed much, but I feel like the knowledge got easier to access for a non-pirates.
Bananas. I'm not saying it's hard now, but it used to be insanely easy to pirate. Everyone I know my age had a PC full of pirated films and music just searching directly on Kazaa or limewire without having ever even heard of terms like "VPN."
Well yeah it may just be my perspective, I don't know how easy it was in ye olde days, since I'm fairly new to pirating and never used a VPN for it (because it isn't really needed in my country, not because I'm stupid)
