It's a bullshit argument that tries to justify piracy. People feel as if they're entitled to play shit they didnt pay for or watch stuff they didn't pay for.

Wrong.

I know many people who pirated stuff and went on to buy the albums they really liked as a result.

Hell, I pirated Final Fantasy 6 a couple times when I was a kid. Went on and bought the GBA version when it came out.

Buy the product first and then pirate it. That's how the pros do it.

If you didn't buy it, you don't deserve to play it. Unless it's something really old and out of production

Well I can say for certain I never would have bought the movies I pirated back in the day. It was just shit I sorta liked and wanted to watch.

The movies I really liked I bought on disc or digital.

Still doesnt mean you deserve to play it, you're not entitled to play it.

Only big nerds get all bent out of shape and make moral arguments about piracy, when they don't even have a financial obligation to do so

There's also no point in trying to justify doing it either. It's free and easy, and that's why everyone does it lol

I prefer Gabe Newell's "Pirates are just dissatisfied consumers. most people are willing to pay a fair price for a fair product "

Things like Steam and Netflix and ITunes proved that. They obliterated the priacy of the 90s and 2000s.

Some pirates are assholes who wouldn't pay for a taxi to their sisters funeral

But most really are willing to pay if you make it possible for them too

Piracy helps more than people think. The free advertising that comes with piracy is powerful.

when sarcasm is rooted in truth... lol

so many "now hiring" signs, I wish this pandemic happened when I was still job searching 10 years ago. we'd be over it and I would be 10 years closer to retiring than I am now.

I remember applying to Radio Shack back in the day and they called me a month later acting like it was such a good opportunity that I shouldn't ask them to work around my school schedule lol.

oh how time flys...

If you steal a Ferrari, the person you stole it from no longer has a Ferrari. The same does not apply with piracy.

There's so many now hiring signs because unemployment is so low. If those companies wanted to hire people they need to compete in the market and offer compensation packages that are worth it.

Why would someone work for a restaurant that pays $2.13 an hour when they can work for Aetna in a call center for $20 an hour plus Health Insurance, and a 401K.
