why is anyone still trying to justify piracy? that's step 2 of a conversation that even non-criminals are on step 9 in

Believe it or not, I've met people like this. I know a guy who was worried about showing a movie to our Meetup group.

Not because he was afraid of getting caught. He thought it might be unethical.

It IS justified lol.

Yeah.

For example, does Microsoft deserve my money for how much of a dumping they've taken onto Windows since Windows 8? No, they don't.

Because if I did give Microsoft my money, I'm REWARDING them for their half-assery.

There is nothing to justify.

I pirate because I want to see the world burn, among other things.

I do it because it's easy and it's free but if it was difficult i'd probably still do it.

If needed, I'd pay for debrid/vpn much more than I'd pay for some 'legit' streaming service, just out of spite.
