Well i do it for both reasons, but also piracy isn’t theft
Piracy is more fun when it’s principled anyways
Yep, I’m mostly doing it right now to create my own streaming service with jellyfin, and all the radarr and overseerr and the others with the pirate themed names, though currently my server computer aint powerful enough, so i need to upgrade it, and i dont even pay for streaming, my parents does, but when i move out i dont want to pay for it
a true enjoyer
Piracy isn’t theft tho
@db0 / @sunbrothersco does this fall under the low quality post rule? I’m asking this because I don’t want to see !piracy becoming just as bad as r/piracy was, if it is going to increasingly be memes I’d rather find another piracy discussion place in the fediverse
I would hope this falls under low quality. The meme isn’t even decently made, poorly cropped. Come on people
I’m cheap and like free shit
especially at the cost of others

just saying that people not paying for things increases the overall cost of those things. the collective of normies pays your fair share.
embrace it my dude, it is what it is.
Theft might do that, but piracy doesn’t.
I would disagree.
If a person purchases entertainment then the overall revenue and profit for that product would be increased. This increase in profitability from last product reduces the pressure to increase prices for future products.
What occurs with piracy is that a person that may have otherwise purchased the product, not do so; lowering the profit of the company and driving increases in price to remain profitable. While this is not the case for people that would otherwise not buy the product at all, there are still a number of pirates that would pay for something if a pirated version did not exist, and so there is an effect.
I’m not attacking you personally, I’m simply stating that piracy is not victimless. I think we should all taking ownership for the harm we cause others even if it is something small.
Piracy is victimless, as it doesn’t remove something from the creator. Taking something away would make them a victim. Me not buying a game and not engaging at all with it is the same as not buying a game but still playing it.
You assume every piece of pirated media would otherwise be bought, this is not true at all.

It seems like you didn’t read all of what I wrote and instead only saw the last section. I did not assume that and reaffirm that piracy does in fact have victims.

About once every two years or so, I download all of Metallicas shit. I delete it a few days later. It’s not even about sending a message.
“You wouldn’t steal a car”
X -> Doubt
You wouldn’t download a car
I would COPY a car.

I’m just cheap… and also fuck the corporations and I was leadership at one. Steal away. Fill my nas with goodness you can’t ever take away from me.
Hey anyone saw my missing boat?
I’ve tried paying for 3 services, but thanks to their different “unique” payment and subscription systems, it became easier to just streamio.
Both
piracy is a crime, crime is bad, stop glorifying crime and unlawful activity
Crime doesn’t mean bad. Being gay is a crime in some countries, does that make being gay bad?
yes, but crime = good /hj
