This is a $1 dollar increase from what I was paying. But soon subscribers will be $15/month, then $20/month. I wonder how much of deezer's income actually goes to the artists.

Yeah, and I'm not against piracy by any means, I pirate every movie I watch despite having Netflix, Disney+, Star+, HBO Max and sometimes Prime. We have all of those because it's easier for my parents but God, Stremio is a lot better than having to find out which platform has the movie I want, and sometimes there's no alternative other than piracy.

As Gabel said, piracy is a service problem, and I think that music streaming services are great and at a fair price, so I don't see the need for pirating music as long as you can afford it.
