"If you want to support the creators...show the thing to your friends"
Ah yes, exposure bucks. That'll definitely ensure the creator can make more stuff in the future
"It's easy AND safe"
Blatantly false on both accounts
Look, pirate shit from the corporations, just not actual creatives, ok?
there are countless examples of me buying things which i wouldn't have know of if not for recommendations i've gotten on pirate sites, and others buying things i've requested on sites when i've been too poor to buy them myself
exposure works because pirates care about the things they're pirating
the vast majority of pirated content is corpo content. i agree with your point, but associating piracy with taking money from creatives rather than sticking it to corpos just unnecessarily spreads fud. chill
"vast majority is copro content"
citation?
also, corporations are the hardest to pirate from because they have the money and lawyers to go after people for it. it's a good way to get your internet access shut off by your ISP. don't ask me how i know
look at any torrent site. the majority of what you'll find is content from corpos. its not harder to get, because seeders often bought the content and distribute it freely. also alot of artists use pirated software; flstudio, photoshop, etc. you aren't protecting who you think you are with this take
If only there was a pirate site with tons upon tons of software, maybe someplace that has TORRENTial amounts of it, that has accounts that use your IP to identify you.
It's a good site. :3 If it theoretically existed, which would be silly! But if it did, a good way to find it would be the capitalized words, but not in the exact order they're in. :3
Oh, and I forgot to mention, if it were invite only, so Corporate spies couldn't infiltrate and strong arm your internet provider against giving you Copyright Strikes.
That'd be pretty bomb.

Fine.
Maybe I'm just salty about pirating because I got burned
That'd be pretty bomb.
