Not sure why you feel the need to defend your actions by drawing analogies with real piracy - it's their attitude towards you as a content consumer that you should note in this situation, and that's just appaling. Your actions may well be piracy but frankly that's just a word they use to guilt you out of choosing convenience and safety. Be a pirate and be proud, goddammit!
So you think defending myself against viruses is Piracy. Go you.
To be fair In my teenage years I used to write these things for fun, I'm on a vpn now so pretty safe but I'll honestly warn you to be aware of ads everywhere, even the name brand ones.
If you let them through you are truthfully putting your pc at serious risk nomatter what Google or Linus claims, the vast majority of ads come through ads the rest are from dipshits downloading freestuff.exe but yeah mostly through real ads.
