In this moment I am euphoric vibes.
Being a proud pirate is some of the dumbest shit on the planet.
I used to be poor and pirate everything. Then I was making enough money. I got subscriptions and paid for games. But still pirated everything but games because Netflix was just too annoying to use.
Now everything is going to shit. I still make money but I'm going to start pirating way more. This time it will be out of spite !
I wish I could possibly convey how hard I just rolled my eyes back into my head.
Netflix is too hard? You'll come up with anything to justify stealing it.
In 12 years of being subscribed to Netflix, it did not happen a single time that the movie I tried into the search was available.
I got the subscription as an indulgence. To answer the question, "how will the artists get paid". But I still get everything from piratebay. Again, because Netflix is crap.
👌👍
How do you steal something that is infinitely reproducible?
If you have an apple and I steal it, you cannot eat the apple.
If you have a movie, I can copy it and you can still watch it.
Say for instance, there was a magic apple machine that copied apples infinitely with zero loss. If not intentionally destroyed, access to this machine would be restricted by the first party with enough capital to acquire and protect it. Using the machine to copy apples would also be considered stealing.
You people have recited that bullshit for as long as I can remember usenet. You've stolen the right to distribution and taken money out of progress 6 hands.
Invent whatever little story you need to live with it.
gibve dindsey more monies . Mous not have enoigh monies but when you give money he do
👌
Piracy isn’t theft lawl gtfo with that
Nothing wrong with sharing your favorite media.
BUT HAVE YOU MADE IT YOUR ENTIRE PERSONALITY YET? HAVE YOU PROUDLY GONE ON TO THE INTERNET TO DECLARE YOU WILL ALWAYS PIRATE?
If you haven't you are definitely missing out.
Nah I am more of an open source and creative commons kind of guy
Not as dumb as the people who go to piracy forums to complain about piracy being stealing.
Oh, I didn't come here to complain about stealing.
I came to make fun of idiots that make it their identity. The ladder is very much open season on piracy forums. You seem to be conflating (and other) the two.
You're literally whining about stealing in the two next comments.
I certainly wasn't calling him dumb because he makes coherent, logically consistent arguments.
I'm not the one who started in with justifications. That's in the other commentators.
