minus-square@blahsaylink53•1 year agoFun fact: Piracy is still supporting the film industry. We see movies, talk about it, free publicy, reviews etc. Apparently in the industry they consider the value of a pirated movie about 1/4 that of a paid one. Some programs etc would pretty much die without piracy like the Adobe suite
