When did you grow out of piracy?

When did you grow out of piracy?

Around the time I stopped watching TV, movies, anime and stopped playing video games.

I didn't

never did and never will. stay mad

This

*not a crime

People will stop pirating when it's no longer worth the trouble.

When I grew out of single-player games and started only playing multi-player stuff with friends. Can't pirate centralized servers.

When I got a job.

never have. I just go for whats easiest, when I lived in the USA it was literally easier and cheaper to buy used CDs and rip them, sign up on netflix and watch everything I want than it ever was to pirate. Now that I live in Europe, its literally easier to torrent than doing anything else.

When I got disposable income

When I got captured by the Royal Navy and was forced to watch anime for 300 years.

when i used the stuff i pirated to get rich so i wouldn't have to pirate it anymore

When will quit swallowing for MPAA / RIAA / SPA?

a year ago

When the first cave man had invented a wheel and didn't allowed people to copy it.

If I was making good money I probably wouldn't pirate.

I grew out of piracy when they made every single game and software compatible with my current systems AND easy to buy.

Oh wait...

>AND easy to buy.
Back in the day it was easy: leave fucking chair and buy.
Now you have to have some bank cards, remember passwords, internet. Ew

I always follow the rules.

Am I gay?

What do you even do?
I do all those and a little music on the side, not listening mind you.

Never ever. I will download and then 3D print your car too if I could.

I'd just like to interject for a moment. What you're referring to as piracy, is in fact, unauthorized copying, or as I've recently taken to calling it, unauthorized sharing. Piracy is not the act of obtaining an unauthorized copy of a copyrighted work, but rather robbery or criminal violence at sea.

Many computer users make unauthorized copies every day, without realizing it. Through a peculiar turn of events, the act which is widely performed today is often called piracy, and many of the people who do it are not aware that it is basically copying, and not stealing.

There really is a piracy, and some people are doing it, but it is just robbery at sea. Piracy is an act of theft: an action at sea in which goods are forcefully transferred from one ship to another. Piracy is important to be aware of, but unrelated to unauthorized copying; it can only function at sea. Piracy is normally not used in combination with unauthorized copying: the two acts are basically seperate. All the so-called piracy is really unauthorized copying.

I shitpost on Sup Forums for 16 hours a day

I will always pirate.
I wouldn't have bought a 10th of my media if it weren't for piracy. Some of us do exist. Besides, it's not like pirates will buy your shit if they can't pirate it.

Copying files can never be a crime.


>piracy
Do not use that word to describe copying of files, as copying of files has nothing in common with killing people and pillaging ships on the high seas.

I buttfucked your mother.

Am I gay?

>it's not like pirates will buy your shit if they can't pirate it.
hahaha....pretty much sums up pirate

its 2018. How can someone get out of pirating music? I can understand software, games, movies/TV, but there is just too much music in existence (some with terrible distribution and marketing that makes getting a copy legally difficult.

After I got my first real job piracy no longer made sense, I'd rather pay for products and have a better experience. The amount is so little compared to what I make.

But I'm not a pirate, I'm a rogue archivist

>better experience
kek
Enjoy the 8 gorillion ads on blurays.

Nowadays if you want to support artist you better attend their concerts and jams

I have a better experience now that I am paying for your sister.

This. Some have even embraced giving out their music for free. It gives more publicity, getting even better results on live concert sales.

can I have your stuff?

When I got a job. Though I still download quite a few tv shows mostly out of unavailability in non-American markets.

I never did, I just started having money to support creators I actually like, and the systems for obtaining media became less onerous than pirating.

>tv shows
Watching tv shows in current year...wtf is wrong with you user!!!

Thats the joke, retard

The thing is, thanks to DRM, it's easier to pirate then buy.

>becoming a wage slave just to blow away money
I know, neo-Sup Forums and everything, but really....

When the content I was interested in dried out
No interesting things to torrent, not even worth looking them up

I stopped pirating music once I got a Spotify account.

Still pirate everything else out of convenience and need to hoard data

who are you? and why do you do this?

The same time i switched entirely to free software, fuck proprietary slaves

>When did you grow out of piracy?
never did, i liked it so much i moved to somalia

same
I can't tell if everything got worse or if it's just my crippling depression

Also copying files =/= destroying/robbing ships on the ocean

I grew into it, faggot

same

In about 60 years based on my current life expectancy

I'll "grow" out of it when the jews stop trying to fuck consumers out of their shekels.

>so, never.

>pirate Okami HD a few days ago
>can't play with a controller due to their real fucking sneaky soft DRM and don't feel like dicking around with luma
>mfw going to buy the game now
You win this round, moralfags.

This is a great thread, tell me OP, how's that consensus cracking going?

>Spotify

fucking middlemen are worse than pirates tbf, you should be ashamed

Spotify is godsent. I really don't mind not files on my computer.
I have at least a TB of vaporwave though. It's not pirating if the producer never had copyright ownership of the track to begin with.

When I stopped using proprietary software

I never pirated, you poorfags

Never.
I live in a country that doesn't get access to tv shows and movies as easily as the rest of the world and we are often left out despite being a leading economics country.
Fuck Sweden, we are treated like a third world country when it comes to media content.
So up yours, I'll keep pirating.

I've yet to encounter the thing called DRM.
Where is this shit and when I'm going to meet?

>when you will grow out of letting all the soys pay the grossly overpriced shit while you get it for free
hopefully never, everytime you pirate something the companies will have to gain it back by charging more the paying customers (almost inevitably iToddlers and people that can't conceive shit is available outside their appstore/steam/drmbox of choice) so there's literally no downsides in pirating
>b-but muh viruses and miners
natural selection, the only thing i own legit is a second hand music cd and never had any virus problems

When I finally felt like getting fucked and sucked by the jews

in your browser, in a year or two, stay tuned

>Fuck Sweden, we are treated like a third world country

makes me hmmm

I will when I get fucking rich
So then I can pay for a 500 line of code

this pretty much.

I do like going to the movies though. Games and software is a hassle to pirate and keep up to date, easier to just use free alternatives and 60gig downloads for another AAA open world garbage is a waste of time.

music is free on spotify with adblocker. TV shows are easy as fuck to stream, not that there's anything worth watching. Amateur porn is best porn.

money in the bank rarely changes my opinion of a product. I will probably never pay for music while I can listen to the latest goldstein labels on youtube for free. Spotify/itunes/gmusic or whatever is some next level cucking

Did her dick got hard?

>we are treated like a third world country
You're already a shit-hole country

t. mutt

>I do like going to the movies though

why tho, ads are shoveled in your face, people are obnoxious, you have to stick to their schedule. There is literally no upside

>Amateur porn is best porn
Milf porn is the best porn...fag

If it wasn't for US...you guys will be begging for money...cucks

Dubs of truth..

>cucks

Amateur porn may also encapsulate milf porn, you fucking retard.

Same goes for Milf porn... fag

Keeps pictures of soyboys...die already Swedish fag.

Are you the fat one?

...

If you can copy it exactly and leave with the copy you are welcome to do so.

You already know he is your father.
If you don't believe go and ask you mother..fag.

never sailed the high seas, not Somailian

/pol retards sported...GTFO!!!

When products stop being such a heavy dent in my wallet.

I don't want to pay for Netflix because :
-jew
-they already makes a lot of money
-i'm sometimes shilling some of their shows for free
-my connection is terrible and i want to be able to watch my movie at least in 1080p and keep watching it even if my connexion stop.
-fuck their DRM
-they are not losing money because if it was not possible to pirate it i wouldn't have bought it

Programs have it.
Games have it.
Movies have it.
Music services have it.

Of course, there's free as in beer and free as in freedom things, but majority is proprietary and DRM, for programs and entertainment media alike.

>in your browser, in a year or two, stay tuned
Already here.

>Fuck Sweden, we are treated like a third world country
You are a third world country, by definition.

As long as people call sharing "piracy", companies woun't stop trying to criminalize it further.

Accept that it's about copyright law, there's no murder, theft, robbery or anything else that would justify putting people into jail for it.

Stop calling it piracy, even if it sounds cool.

>doesn't know how to green text

>When did you grow out of piracy?
I dont want to pay money. All software must be FREE.

I can understand buying software or games because pirating that can sometimes be a hassle. But it genuinely baffles me that some people pay for videos, music or pdfs.

>I am proud of not supporting the authors because I'm a fucking basement-dwelling manchild

I don't mind paying for pdfs.
Sometimes it's the only way you can support writers.

Rude, but thanks anyways.

>subscribe to porn website
>doesn't let me download
>streams DRM content
>tfw fucking HLS
how the FUCK do I download the videos?

recently I saw this ffmpeg as a service offering, for $10/mo you can have a shitty http interface to ffmpeg
>it is profitable
