This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.
Be warned:
- Anon is often crazy.
- Anon is often depressed.
- Anon frequently shares thoughts that are immature, offensive, or incomprehensible.
If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

You pirate because prices are too high
I pirate because I have kleptomania
We are not the same
But piracy is not theft, it's copyright infringement.
Piracy isn't theft, because on modern media platforms, "buying" doesn't actually sell you permanent copies. It just gives you temporary access to a DRM'd file that they can remotely disable at any time. If buying isn't owning, pirating isn't stealing.
Yeah, that's what I said. It's not stealing but technically it is copyright infringement which is not same as stealing. I mean I'm not judging anyone I also sometimes pirate.
it's only theft if they lose it when you take it
theft enjoyers unite
