That is nonsense. Do you know how few people are e.g. doing petty crimes though the chance of getting cought is minimal? So .. Moral is a very important imperative in the behaviour of people. As is comfort.
Money comes only in play if it is in too short supply - that is: When people dont have money, it gets more comfortable to not pay money.
Oh well, you have your opinion and I have mine. I strongly believe, that the only way to solve the "problem" is by providing customers with an easy and fair system to buy the content. You can see it e.g. in the music industrie - provide a nice and easy way to buy music, and people will buy the music instead of downloading it. Though the darknet still exists, the music is still available there, it is cheaper there, etc
Easy as in "really easy". Fair as in "fair priced, without drm and similar". And it need to be ever present. Easier to buy then to steal.
