I wanted to try out Serato Sample’s new stem separation tool added in 2.0 so I downloaded a crack to see if it was worthwhile.
Only now a week later do I remember I purchased the old version on sale and think to check if it’s a free upgrade.
Now I can’t decide if I want to bother uninstalling and installing my legitimate copy
I once pirated a book I wrote because it was faster to download a pirate PDF than to find my original files and export a PDF myself.
It still counted as piracy because the book was owned by a company I used to own.
Shit, I’ve pirated something because I forgot I had already pirated it.
I pirate because it’s more convenient. No launcher, no update, no DRM, no need to be always online. I still purchase games but still play the pirated version.

I bought a physical book, but I like reading from my Kindle better so I pirated a copy of it as well.
I found my home server is sooooo much faster and more reliable than my streaming services. I usually forget I can watch in a legit way. No ads to skip, stupid popups when you pause, or buffering issues. I ❤️ Local Files!
i often pirate movies from a streaming services that im subscribed why? well im used to watch movies at 1.10x speed and tvshows at 1.15x i’d been doing this for years now and i cant go back and netflix or primevideo apps in Smart TV dont allow you to set custom speed so i download the movie on my nas and watch it using VLC for android TV/FIRETV better quality and custom speed.
this is in my bedroom on PC i cant set custom speed using browser
Basically everything on prime video because I can’t stand the lag on the official app
I’ve pirated old games because I don’t remember where the floppies are, let alone a floppy drive.
Not what you asked, but I pirated a software because it could only run on one machine. For my second computer they wanted me to buy another license… Unacceptable.
I have pirated stuff I know I own because the pirated copy was better quality than what I actually paid for.
I’ve own GTA 4 on Steam for years but recently sort out a cracked copy because I keep having issues with Rockstars shitty DRM and them removing songs from the radio in updates.
I pirated a game because my parents had a party at our house and I didn’t want to deal with people while getting the game from the living room.
For the curious, LoZ:Twilight Princess.
I’ve done that with console games on multiple occasions. I’ll own a physical copy and already went through the trouble to back up my own copy with my console but I’ll download it anyway
On the off chance the checksum on yours is different, you don’t want it somehow noted and flagged by … anyways, levels of paranoia I get and respect. They can’t take that thumb drive if its air-gapped!! Keep it hidden and safe children, its my legacy!
If I could find a dense and permanent enough storage medium, I would take (a copy of)it all to my grave… Feeling like by the time such reaches consumers at a reasonable price, it will also be able to hold a copy of the Pole Shif Survival Guide.

Do you think I’m worried about Microsoft coming after me for backing up my copy of Halo?
Fuck if I know or care. I was looking for a reason for you to do what you did, not demanding that you provide one.
I make backups in case of disc or disc reader failures and download them through other means on occasion because I can’t be bothered removing the drive from the console or setting up an FTP server.
