From my perspective, Netflix and other legal streaming services have dealt quite a blow to the torrent scene. I'm sure there are private trackers that are alive and well, but the scene in total seems diminished even from a few years ago.

Personally I prefer to do my 'piracy' the old-fashioned way: at my local public library. Better selection than all but the most elite torrent sites...

Is it actually diminished, or just more out of the public eye?

I don't go trawling around for pirated content, but I've stopped hearing much in the news about big "busts" of things like Suprnova every other week - I think the first one I heard about in months, if not years, was all the noise around KickAssTorrents being shut down.
