      I used to be poor and pirate everything. Then I was making enough money. I got subscriptions and paid for games. But still pirated everything but games because Netflix was just too annoying to use.

      Now everything is going to shit. I still make money but I’m going to start pirating way more. This time it will be out of spite !

        I wish I could possibly convey how hard I just rolled my eyes back into my head.

        Netflix is too hard? You’ll come up with anything to justify stealing it.

          In 12 years of being subscribed to Netflix, it did not happen a single time that the movie I tried into the search was available.

          I got the subscription as an indulgence. To answer the question, “how will the artists get paid”. But I still get everything from piratebay. Again, because Netflix is crap.

          How do you steal something that is infinitely reproducible?

          If you have an apple and I steal it, you cannot eat the apple.

          If you have a movie, I can copy it and you can still watch it.

          Say for instance, there was a magic apple machine that copied apples infinitely with zero loss. If not intentionally destroyed, access to this machine would be restricted by the first party with enough capital to acquire and protect it. Using the machine to copy apples would also be considered stealing.

        BUT HAVE YOU MADE IT YOUR ENTIRE PERSONALITY YET? HAVE YOU PROUDLY GONE ON TO THE INTERNET TO DECLARE YOU WILL ALWAYS PIRATE?

        If you haven’t you are definitely missing out.

      Being a proud pirate is some of the dumbest shit on the planet.

      Not as dumb as the people who go to piracy forums to complain about piracy being stealing.

        Oh, I didn’t come here to complain about stealing.

        I came to make fun of idiots that make it their identity. The ladder is very much open season on piracy forums. You seem to be conflating (and other) the two.
