Wait, people pay for that?
As I said in a previous post, people are afraid of pirating, so they prefer higher prices if it is a "safe" method.
People need education.
bootlickers love theirs chains, they won' be saved but younger folk have a chance to break the cycle of abuse
Sadly a lot of young people are taught nothing but convenience and ignorance. I'm the only one in any of my friend circles that says anything against these practices. All of my friends, from different walks of life just shrug me off.
Well maybe next generation then... Or maybe we are destitined to be enslaved due to herd mentality.
I agree, but as long as corporations like YouTube, Nintendo and Hollywood exist and people have this "normal" mentality, they will hardly be willing to be truly educated about it.
And there's the sad truth of it. Best we can do is those few of us who care enough to be educated do our best to make what we do hurt those scum suckers where it hurts them the most.
