This is for piracy, piracy means not buying shit.
Since when?
Uhm... Thats the nature of taking things without paying...
You don't know much about piracy, do you? Pirated stuff doesn't always mean it's free. For example, services like kino.pub - pure piracy, yet have monthly subscription. Which is worth it. I'm a pirate since early 90-s and it's a huge multi billion dollar industry. From pirated VHS cassettes sold super cheap on flea markets back in the days to illegal software keys sold online for pennies today.
Nature of pirating, lol.
They take it for free and sell it to you, they are pirates, you are not, you just know you pay for a pirated product.
Lol what? You don't take something for free. Oh man, kids these days...
You are just not understanding the therm piracy correctly.
Lol ok.
Piracy could also mean "buy shit for way less". Instead of a 200$ key you can have it for 2-5$. It kinda fits.
Plus you can have it free but it'll be a hassle or very low price and it won't be a hassle. The choice is his.
Thats not piracy then, you just buy your key from someone else, who probably got the key legally anyway.
Ok
Those keys are usually gotten via stolen credit cards. It's much more ethical to just pirate the thing.
