You mean buying isn't owning?
Well then...Piracy isn't st...I mean Piracy is wrong an immoral!
I remember my brother once telling me this:
"You wouldn't download a car"
Well if I could magically construct an infinite number of copies of a car it's not the same thing...not that I would ever pirate anything! That would be a horrible thing to do
So if I use your toothbrush to clean my asshole it's fine cuz it's still there right?
Didn’t really think this one through.
Sure. I can even spit extra on it no charge if that makes your day. Just download me a clean one afterwards will you.
No, because you're still tampering with the original product. That is not analogous to piracy. If you make a perfect 1:1 replica of my toothbrush, and use that to pleasure yourself, I don't care, because my toothbrush is still in my bathroom untouched.
If you can exactly copy said toothbrush and then clean your filthy bunghole with the copy it is totally fine, yeah.
Piracy is always justified. I don't do it because I'm afraid of consequences and my fear of fucking up is greater than my desire to watch TV, but if you're confident in your abilities, do it. Fuck Netflix, they wouldn't use your money to make shows you like anyway.
's alright sweetheart, you can say it, there's no longer a megacorporation to shadow ban or lecture you
I don't know what you could possibly be talking about! I would never pirate anything!
You should never use mullvad with quantum secure encryption or proton VPN with port forwarding off or qbitorrent to pirate anything! That would be horrible to steal from a corporate executive's enormous income!
