It's been proven time after time that piracy is almost always an issue with availability and convenience, rather than people looking to get a free lunch.

Music piracy is basically non-existent these days with Spotify and Apple Music. There was a time when movie piracy nearly died when Netflix was the only game in town.

Comics aren't any different. If you can spin up a service that is as good or better than what the pirates are offering, in a way that is accessible to English markets, you will see a massive drop in piracy from western audiences.
