Having an archive where people kept over the years right at your fingertips. No matter how obscure or mainstream it is.
adult piracy is double jeopardy I feel. "You wouldn't download a car, but you might download a picture of a car and then stare at it for hours pretending you're driving it."
It wouldn't make a change tbh. I'd straight up not have watched / read / played most of the s*** if it had cost money. So its not like Im taking it away from anything.
They needa bring back the ktt1 pirate emoji
New users don't know how relevant KTT1 was in the piracy game. I knew about this place because it was so easy to find leaks here.
I used to purchase everything when rent and food etc was a fraction what it currently is. dont give a f*** any more and pirate everything f*** those guys.
Morally - do you think its right or wrong?
Most people say its literally stealing
but some say its ok
for example: you at a friends house and you see a book - you ask your friend "dammn thats an interesting book - can I read/take it?" your friends says "yeah man keep it - I have already completed it"
Morally, it's only "ok"/acceptable if the producer/developer makes it to where you can't purchase the product anymore by normal means (i.e a bunch of computer games from the 90s/2000s) or some form of lost media
Besides that it's "wrong" but relatively harmless on an individual level.
I don't have a single music or steaming service, I rarely go to theaters, never bought an album in my life. I have TBs full of s***. Why should I pay for multiple different streaming services (some of which aren't even available or have limited functionality in my country) to not even own what I'm paying for when I can just get it all for free?
I think what it comes down to is if someone put the effort forth to deliver you an individual product you enjoy/will use, the least you can do is put in the work to pay for it.
That being said, the country thing is valid/you don't own it anyway so
