What do you all think about piracy? (lemmy.dbzer0.com)

Pirated and OS software are different things, obviously. But would you prefer one over the other? I'm thinking of switching to both OS software AND pirated software. Just want opinions and tips from this community.

Stand.

And.

Deliver.

I'll admit to being mostly right of center in a lot of ways gasp HERE??! Lol.

But I'm no boot licker.

Anarchocapitalist is probably the closest category.

That said, there's nothing I like more than fighting back against "the man" whether that "man" is a corporation or the government itself.

So when corporations, or anyone really, tries to fuck me over?

Stand. And. Deliver. Bitch.

I turn 49 in August. I've had a home computer since 1984. I am of the generation that could work on the old school computers, and I've been pirating since the 80s.

If you want me to PAY you, make it worth the money. Otherwise, I'll get it however I can get away with.
