You want to actually kill piracy? You need two things, and probably either one of them would work on its own, too:

1. A streaming service with a reasonable monthly fee that has all movies and TV, not sharded between multiple different services.

2. The ability to buy and download movies and TV shows, DRM free, for a reasonable one-off fee. I know that the entertainment industry is allergic to no DRM, but I promise you, if they did this, piracy would go down, not up.
