Yeah I mean, that will be really pulling the veil away from people’s eyes right?

So say that piracy is exterminated in a theoretical scenario, subscription prices now cost $20 - $25 per service just for standard. Tickets cost $19 per person. Rentals will cost $7. Copies still sold in retail stores and online hover $20 ~ $30.

Now, piracy is gone, we have all of these increased expenses. Who do they honestly expect are going to still want to be paying that much?

People will see all along that this is just simply an optional luxury to have, they can’t have it, they stop paying and take their money somewhere else.

And does anyone think the executives and MAFIAA will finally admit that they’ve been in the wrong all this time?

No, they’ll just suck eachother’s dicks while proclaiming that piracy still needed to go away.
