The reason of pirating things because you would be offline has mostly disappeared. Partially because mobile data has become more affordable but also because more subscription based apps give you some way to consume content offline.

Where I see this the most is with music. Outside of those who want FLAC quality I don't know of a lot of people who pirate music anymore.
