Do you pirate? And do you justify pirating? i.e., what is your piracy philosophy? in c/asklemmy@lemmy.ml
[–] refugee_pirate@lemm.ee 11 points 1 year ago

I live in a country where the government doesn't really care about piracy so I pirated a lot of things in my life.

Before the whole "streaming wars" I actually stopped pirating shoes and movies because Netflix was much more convenient. But nowadays every service has 1 or 2 things that I want to watch or sometimes it just gets removed from the platform so pirating became more convenient somehow.

Books on the other hand are kinda different. I prefer physical books but I live in a non English speaking country so when a new book comes out and I want to read it I have two choices either hope that some publisher translates it even then the translation sucks most of the time or just pirate it.

I don't pirate indie games. Other games depends on the company.

Signal is good but I just can't make the people I text regularly to switch.
