Why pay corporate scum when you can not :| sorry not sorry people in the entertainment industry. You should negotiate better union terms.

There's few things that piss me off as much as self-righteous pirates. You want to say you're doing this out of a moral stand? Boycott. Give specifics for what union terms would be good enough for you to deign to pay people for their work. Check with the actual people in the industry for if they would prefer you pay or pirate. For every dollar you're not paying, donate it to a union.

Or just admit you're pirating selfishly because you can get cool stuff for free and rely on other people to fund.

You should be focusing on the hedge funds and billionaire families. Not directing your REEing energy at me.

Great response, totally makes sense and justifies everything you said.
