So hilarious to see this on this sub after people assured me time and time again that "we only pirate because prices are too high!"
We pirate because we're selfish but use every excuse in the book to convince ourselves otherwise...
If we were selfish, we wouldn't be sharing our files in the first place, and the system would fall apart.
It's the fact that we aren't selfish that filesharing works at all.
More mental gymnastics
