I was going to say music, but I suppose ripping from YouTube is piracy, isn't it? And so is X-manager for Spotify, probably? Where's the line on ad blockers for YouTube/Free tube/NewPipe?
I also thought to say books, since I mostly read free web serials and Kindle Unlimited... But I can't afford $10-20 (local currency)/day for books, and at the pace I read that's what most pay-per-chapter web serials or non-KU books would cost me. And how do we feel about using library cards we're not entitled to?
Then I was going to say games, but, lol, emulation.
So... Everything is on the table for me, I suppose. I try to buy games legally, and authors get a lot of money from me from KU page reads ($2+ USD/day most days), but only if it's not too expensive or inconvenient for me.
