Hey wow! A headline that isn"t answered with "no".

[–] xor@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 1 week ago (1 children)

in journalism they teach you to only do headlines with a question if the answer is no, otherwise just make it say “piracy is justified”.

obviously this guy is a musician and not a journalist, and as such, actually thinking about things he makes….

That's what I was referring to. Thank you for elucidating it, though, for others that may not have known.

why is anyone still trying to justify piracy? that's step 2 of a conversation that even non-criminals are on step 9 in

It IS justified lol.

There is nothing to justify.

I pirate because I want to see the world burn, among other things.

[–] Zos_Kia@lemmynsfw.com 3 points 1 week ago (1 children)

I do it because it's easy and it's free but if it was difficult i'd probably still do it.

If needed, I'd pay for debrid/vpn much more than I'd pay for some 'legit' streaming service, just out of spite.
