I can sense angry Germans staring at your comment
NOTHING in the history of humankind has ever existed like computer data. A 100% identical copy of videos, pictures, and music can be made almost instantly at what is essentially zero cost to the original holder of the data. Any comparison to “stealing” or to a physical object (a car lol) just falls flat because the situation is just so different.
YES!
Nice comment, tq!
I generally pirate first and buy later if I want to support a game. I think of it as voting with my wallet.
I agree with that
I’m especially against pirating products of asshole companies like Adobe. That’s because even if you don’t pay for them you’re still popularizing their products, helping it stay an industry standard.
why are adobe assholes btw? I mean, I seriously don't know. Also, when a company becomes big enough, it's almost like you are hurting yourself by not pirating their products.
For us Indies, getting eyeballs on our books is next to impossible anyways, so I already gave up on the idea that writing will ever be more than an expensive hobby.
I am sorry to hear that. If it ended up on pdf drive, then I guess it's either that, enough people want to read it or pdf drive has a bot which is ruthlessly uploading all the books it can find. Have you tried self publishing on kindle? Also, name your books if you want to, it looks like some eyeballs and popularity will do you some good.
not ideal, you know, I would prefer it if creators had pay links attached to their accounts and you could anonymously send them money. Pirate something, pay the creator some money if you can. I mean, if enough people do it, the corps would be forced to change the game.
Do you think there will arise a time where no one would want to pay for the services they want thus watering down the quality of the content for everyone? I mean, I think of whatsapp, If I had to pay a dollar a month/year, I would happily do that, but yeah, that's not gonna happen anyday now.
That's one of the services where everyone refuses to pay, thus resulting in an inferior product (in terms of privacy). So, put this into the picture for piracy, do you think there will be a time where people will just refuse to see movies and this would result in shit movies being produced that no one likes.
bigger cut than the artists
that's the shitty part! I don't like that one bit.
I wouldn’t use it for less legitimate purposes because the risk of hosting the content is far too great.
Do countries like Russia care about this? I mean the citizens of that country. Well, let's say I am using a web seed in Russia and you catch me, what are you gonna do ask putin nicely to hand me over :')
I am offended, how will I ever sleep :')
