Well, my friend, he’s kinda poor he can’t afford some books and some streaming services, so he pirates. He pirate books, audiobook and videos and other stuff. Sometimes he buys books he likes a lot out of loyalty to the author (yeah, I don’t understand it either), he likes to read physical books, but yeah, if he hates the author or just wants to skim through it, he will download the book.
He usually doesn’t like to pirate from small companies or professors who are trying to make a living by selling books, but from millionaires & plenty of mega corps which already have loads of money, he feels like it’s the right move to pirate
Also, have you ever noticed that you have felt that the value of a product has decreased just because you didn’t pay for it, thus you are less interested to read it? i.e., had you paid for the book, you would have more likely read that book.
He says he will buy stuff when his time is more valuable than money, let’s all hope that day is soon.
What are your piracy habits?
Creators and artists ? Lol I guess you meant shareholders, producers & executives
If you pay 20$, you’re lucky if the real artist behind your shit earns 1ct.
It’s LITERALLY copying, no ressource is lost or wasted in the process.
You’re partially correct. You’re stealing from a whole bunch of people.
Don’t worry, I delete it after so it’s just borrowing ;)
Anyway I don’t intend to stop
Ahh so we’re back to conservative style ignorance 👍🤣
Why ignorance ? I would do it even if there was an impact, as long as i’m fucking a US company and any kind of greedy corp, no problem
But sadly there isnt, or else I would download anything 100 times to bankrupt them for fun
