Paying for piracy is pointless and stupid. Piracy means free and solid access to content and paying for it means the complete subversion of that. 👎 👎
For that I would be better by just paying for some stupid streaming service and having something more convenient / not having to deal with anything.
Long live torrents.
Bruh, it's just stealing movies. You're not taking down The Man with your sick seed ratios. This line of thinking is how people become radicalized lmao
But man, paying for pirated content? Even if you ignore everything else, it's over the line.
You're not paying for the content, you're paying for the server upkeep. I assume you don't donate to people who rip your favourite albums/films either or to people who seed a lot.
You could just physical if you wanted to not pay a few dollars to piracy services, but those will be more expensive
This is a very, very questionable statement, we all know that people do profit from selling access to piracy.
