Really? I could understand that point from someone not in the piracy community, but doesn't seem any more time consuming than posting on lemmy. Not really starved for time if someone is spending their time on social media.
Mind you I don't pirate software or games, so maybe that's why. Pretty much hardest has been waiting for download to finish.
There is stuff worth pirating, stuff which can't be found through other means or is way overpriced. Stuff like old movies or impossible to legally gather roms.
For all others: "convenience is king."
And you're smart to not pirate software. The. "no illegal software" rule has saved me many times.
