Yeah, I just made a comment that was in reference to this in the other thread about bullshit payments we're all making, but I've been explicitly "pro-piracy" for years and not ashamed of it. I still support the artists/musicians that I like. If I play a game that I like I will buy it, if I listen to albums that I like I will buy them on vinyl and go to see the band in concert, buy some of their merch, etc. But the truth of the matter is that I have more access to a wider variety of different forms of media using the various piracy services that I do, than I could ever possibly have using legal services due to the different licensing issues and restrictions placed on the IP owners. The experience that I have watching films for example is vastly superior to what someone using Netflix or Amazon Prime could ever have, I can find any movie that I want, no matter how obscure.
