Opinions on piracy

So for me I'm ALL IN
E-books, manga, manwha, movies, shows, games, dlcs, anything I can get my grubby little hands on you name it.
But whenever I mention I pirate shit someone acts like I just stole cheese from an anorexic mouse. I've seen some people on here have negative views one piracy (bit ironic but eh) and irl its always a mixed bag. Like they're ok with movie piracy but when I told some mf to just pirate the god damn Thomas the tank engine because I know these mfs around me will.never get a job they look at me like I just pissed on baby jesus.

I know I am probably biased to this as I was built on piracy from a young age and I personally don't see it as a big deal but I know some.people see it as a big deal so just want to see what peoples opinions are

"If buying isn't owning then piracy isn't stealing" is basically the quote I live by So I buy all the physical copy of books I can afford but when it comes to reading online I don't pay since I can't actually own it (I've had to buy the same chapter of my favorite manhwa on webtoon multiple times because they keep making it unavailable after a bit) reply

I don't give a shit I'm a cheap, lazy bastard. You can come up with moral arguments for or against, but I don't wanna spend money or go through the hassle of buying individual volumes or chapters. reply

I am mixed/leaning towards piracy on this issue. I was brought up in a poor country and the only way I got access to animes and mangas were from piracy links that were shared among my friends when I was in middle school. I used to settle watching youtubers play video games which I couldnt afford to buy myself. Now I have moved places and earn decen...... 1 reply

Fancy Idiot 12 04,2026

For me, it's a mixed bag. On one hand, I'm a total hypocrite and pirate a lot of media due to want>wallet. I think of it as borrowing from a library, checking out media for free so I don't invest on something I dislike. Furthermore, piracy can serve as a way to preserve media, especially when it comes to things like video games and tv shows. When c...... 1 reply
