Do we really need excuses for pirating media?

I pirate movies because I think digital access to them is overpriced, goes to the copyright holder instead of the creators, it's convenient and most importantly because I can.

I can't pirate going to the cinema, nor can I afford to build my own, therefore I gladly pay to have a seat and enjoy a movie there.

Edit: I thought this may be relevant to the movies example I gave. I don't think movie studios, giving nothing back to society after massive profits are the ones we should debate the morals of stealing with.

Years ago I moved to Linux and one of the reasons was to not spend as much time gaming. Nowadays if I wanted to do the same I would have to move to BSD.

If this is just for the fun of it I would try to run these services inside a virtual machine and just screen capture them. Never tried it but I don't see a reason why it won't work.

Wouldn't such automated crossposting result in some really spammy communities without actual people filtering them?

I think reddit can afford to have so many posts in these massive subs because they have a massive community that engages with the posts by up/down voting them.

That's a pity. I never quite understood why these privacy-focused browsers always reskin chromium, instead of firefox.

I guess I could just search for it, but is this chromium based?

Edit: The mac and ios versions are based on WebKit, the android one is based on chromium. I would guess the windows one is based on chromium as well, but cant find anything definitive.
