Well, since Pirates copy rather than take, surely they're creating value everytime they make a copy of something (were you had one, now you have two), unless that something had no value to begin with.

Be a a Pirate: It's good for the Economy!

I'm just poor.

Thinking of all the shit I buy from the money I did not spent, because I chose to sail the 7 seas instead.

I'm also a digital theft enjoyer. Unless I have to jump through fucking tons of hoops to watch some movies or tv shows, in those cases I happily pay the streaming service (if it's not in streamio, that is). The waste of time is not worth it, and I care more about convenience.

it doesn't matter why you're doing the moral and correct thing, only that you do it.

...I mean...PIRACY IS WRONG AND IMORAL!

[–] Johanno@feddit.de 2 points 8 months ago

Partially.

The avoiding payments is immoral. The owning what you copied part not.

If I can download a game or a movie and then watch it offline without the possibility that the company I bought it from deletes it at any time from my hard drive then I would pay for such a service.

Steam is close but in theory they can delete your game once they decide that you shouldn't have access to that game anymore.

The secret ingredient is crime.

[–] dasgoat@lemmy.world 3 points 8 months ago

I pirate because I like it when I have movie and money at the same time

[–] JoShmoe@ani.social 2 points 8 months ago

That and of course my friend Baxter here.

Here is an alternative Piped link(s):

I pirate games because the idea of a poor, overworked developer go homeless gets me hard.
