I’ll go straight to the point:

  • Piracy is useful to bypass regional frontiers and access to censored content
  • Piracy is helpful to watch content without supporting it if you consider it not worth of it
  • Piracy might be helpful for content preservation and survival
  • Piracy is useful to ACTUALLY evaluate whether to spend money on some digital content or not
  • Piracy is sometimes the only way to actually own DRM-protected content

    Not this again. This discussion was spammed on Reddit continuously, there’s no need to.

    Everyone has their own opinion on it. You’re on pirate community, we all pirate. That’s it.

        The only fact of the matter is does the creator get credit and whether their material needs are met. Everything else must be justified. There is virtually no media piracy that harms the first two.

      Reddit just became a circlejerk of iTs ALlwaYs MoRaLLy CoRRect so I’m really hoping that doesn’t happen here.

        Mods! Seize and banish this lubber! He confesses that he partakes not in the maritime plunder of merchant vessels!

        This is actually a very underrated comment imho. The term piracy is used to make what those of us on this community do look worse. I prefer the term sharing because that is usually what you do when you ‘pirate.’ If you seed a torrent or host a ddl site, you are sharing.
