Nah bro, piracy because we don't wanna pay.
We don't mind paying. If it is actually owning and convenient.
Agreed if you have enough financial stability to do so.
Digital Piracy is always right when you are poor when a sale to acces a copy isn’t possible no one loses anything from acquiring it for free and if anyone deserves free game and movie entertainment to distract them from perpetual hardship its the poor.
I primarily use it to see if things are actually worth me paying for them, I've lost count of the games I've tried out, found they were great and bought outright. Watching things is more of a service issue though, I'll pay a subscription for something if it's actually decent, Netflix went and screwed that up for me. If I could actually trust any of the streaming services to not do something stupid again then maybe I would.
