Well, my friend, he’s kinda poor he can’t afford some books and some streaming services, so he pirates. He pirate books, audiobook and videos and other stuff. Sometimes he buys books he likes a lot out of loyalty to the author (yeah, I don’t understand it either), he likes to read physical books, but yeah, if he hates the author or just wants to skim through it, he will download the book.
He usually doesn’t like to pirate from small companies or professors who are trying to make a living by selling books, but from millionaires & plenty of mega corps which already have loads of money, he feels like it’s the right move to pirate
Also, have you ever noticed that you have felt that the value of a product has decreased just because you didn’t pay for it, thus you are less interested to read it? i.e., had you paid for the book, you would have more likely read that book.
He says he will buy stuff when his time is more valuable than money, let’s all hope that day is soon.
What are your piracy habits?
Only if it’s a pain in the ass to get. It is stealing and somehow that was lost on an entire generation.
So you think it’s stealing, but still do it if it’s hard to get?
The contents of a bank’s safe are also a pain to get.
Yes. I don’t delude myself like much of this thread.
It’s literally not stealing. Blaming an entire generation because you’re too lazy to look up the definition of a word. Lol, classic.
iT;s cOPyiNG 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
You are like a conservative justice justifying right to life law. Willfully remaining ignorance to the creators and artists it harms.
Can you explain how it’s stealing instead of bringing up weird American politics?
Thought so
Wat?
It’s like saying you harm a musician if you hear he’s music in a mall.
Lmaoooooo
More like you hopping a fence and sneaking past a security guard and stealing food and drink after someone spent time and money to rent the venue, pay the staff, and make sure food and drink is available.
But whatever you need to tell yourself.
Creators and artists ? Lol I guess you meant shareholders, producers & executives
If you pay 20$, you’re lucky if the real artist behind your shit earns 1ct.
It’s LITERALLY copying, no ressource is lost or wasted in the process.
You’re partially correct. You’re stealing from a whole bunch of people.
Don’t worry, I delete it after so it’s just borrowing ;)
Anyway I don’t intend to stop
Ahh so we’re back to conservative style ignorance 👍🤣
