Piracy: ꜱᴀɪʟ ᴛʜᴇ ʜɪɢʜ ꜱᴇᴀꜱ

PC games. Too much of a worry about malware for that nonsense.

Anything not coming from a big publishing company.

If it wasn't for publishers changing content, removing content, or outright de-listing games, as well as always online requirements, I would never consider video game piracy, but these things are pushing me in that direction.

Indie games. Tremendous respect for indie devs.

open source

Pretty much no games, at this point. I've been buying up every game(worth owning, to me) on Steam sales, humble bundle, and other means. The last year or two, I've just been buying the new games I want at full price on steam, or waiting for sales if I don't want it that much. The only game I still refuse to buy is The Sims 4, for that one time every other year that I want to boot into a heavily modded Sims game to play Sims Orgy Simulator 6969™. But even the other dumb hentai waifu nonsense games, I just buy on Steam (half of which are my gf's, but she refuses to buy them on her own damn account), even though they are easily obtained at the usual locations.

PC Games.

DRM-Free books.

I guess technically am not pirating all the games Epic gives me for free.

I'll buy most things I like on steam once they hit under ten bucks. It's mainly just for convenience.

Windows antiviruses. It's not wise to use a cracked program that's supposed to protect you from malicious cracks/downloads...

Software and videogames. I use Linux and Free/Libre Software and any game I want is on steam or gog.

Song and Books

PC games, just don’t feel like making arbitrary code execution a cakewalk for internet strangers

Software and video games. I just haven't had a need, and I like supporting creators. Only reason I'd download books, music or movies is because I absolutely abhor subscription payments and would rather have access to those things permanently. At least with software you can just find a free alternative.

I mostly pirate games that don't have free trials. I'll play them a bit and if I like em I'll just buy them legit and often buy them for friends so we can play together. I've bought like 3 copies of terraria and 2 of minecraft way back in the day in addition to a bunch of other smaller names. I also pirate AAA games because fuck em, they don't need my money.

I don't "refuse" to pirate anything. If I buy something I see it basically as a donation, that I like what the creator does and want to support them. I tend to buy indie games for that reason; I wouldn't buy a AAA game because obviously they don't need the money. Oh, and I buy books if I know the author is actually a good writer, ie if I've read something by them before and I want to support their writing. Also seconding what people are saying about FOSS; I've donated a lot more to FOSS projects than I've paid for proprietary software.

Things infected with viruses.

Books, except maybe college books.

Nothing. But i usually buy games made in my home country. Trying to move the industry along.

@tet nothing is off the table.

Piracy puts control back in the user’s hand, where it belongs.

nothing

movies/series that are available in amazon prime. since i use my friend's amazon prime, i just use it to watch stuff quickly instead of going to private trackers. only exception might be "The Boys" since there is a huge number of scenes that got censored.
