The problem is that pirates are mostly full of shit. They just don’t want to pay. It’s that simple. Everything else is an attempt to rationalize.

I think he was asking if you notice this happening more in general interactions with others, not in yourself. Can’t tell if this is a good example of what he’s talking about.

Aaaaand there’s the troll we were talking about

People just want shit for free and don’t want to feel bad about taking it

Lol, no. I’m not paying for that poem. You just published it on a public forum. Besides, I don’t want it. I’m not going to copy it or distribute it. If I want what you made and you put a price on it, I either pay for it or go do something else. Your example doesn’t make any sense and I’m not going to sit here and explain it to you any further.

I’ll leave it here. IP doesn’t exist. If it’s digital it should be free. Follow that to its logical end and maybe we arrive at the same reality.

Bullshit. What happens if everyone steals it? Is that cool for the creator? I’m sure they won’t feel like anything was stolen from them since you can’t physically hold it

Lol, the copium. If you pirate digital goods, you are stealing. Just own it. It’s not the same as physically robbing a store, but it’s still theft. We don’t have to feel bad for the mega corp making less money, but I also don’t have to buy your bullshit excuse for doing it

The lengths people will go to defend piracy is pathetic. You’re stealing. Just own it. No, it’s not the same as robbing a physical good. Yes, you’re still taking something that isn’t yours.

I joined well before GME. I guess your last sentence is the whole point of this discussion. The Exodus, if you could even really call it that hasn’t had any real impact on quality. It looks the same to me as it has been

Lol, how are they not fine? Look, I left too, but everything is chugging along over there like nothing happened

No, they wouldn’t

Lol, people in here down voting what are supposed to be unpopular opinions.
