The internet is absolutely dead, trash, compromised, largely worthless, compared to what it was and could have been. That doesn't mean I see much need to 'leave' it. I've already left most of the communities I valued long ago because they changed or simply ceased to exist. But now I'm left behind in enemy territory and getting glimpses into modern information warfare tactics every day. It's not fun any more, but it's still informative if you proceed inductively from what you're initially shown, assuming you have the patience for counterspying.
Also they never did manage to stop piracy. Any media that's ever been digitised is still hanging around here somewhere, waiting for us to do whatever we want with it (which, if we're smart, should be to stick it back onto physical media and local backups wherever possible).
