Post valid logically good reasons why you pirate Sup Forums

Face it, you're in poverty and poor as shit and mooching off your welfare NEET autismbux instead of better investing it for your own well being and get your ass a fucking job or you're on very low income and don't rake in enough to have enough leftover money for yourself to enjoy the extra dough on whatever you oike/want/please to blow it on. Even the Pajeets niggers slave and work their asses off for their PajeetBux money while all you do is sit around all day on your miserable asses collecting your welfare checks every month Sup Forums

Everyone I know who uses computers slightly more than average pirates. For fuck's sake, I see a torrent client on 9 out of the 10 computers that open up in presentations. Not everyone likes to suck corporate dick like you.

i don't pirate Sup Forums. i pirate software. who would pirate Sup Forums? you're weird if you pirate Sup Forums. op you're weird.

Piracy is easier and won't fuck me up with DRM.

i don't believe in money

I don't care.

I'm not poor, I'm just too lazy to get things any other way.

free entertainment, why not?

My logically unbreakable argument for why I pirate:
I'm selfish and don't care if It hurts someone, so why pay for it when I can get it for free and put my money towards things I can't get for free.

Why would I want to give my money that I could otherwise spend on weed to greedy hollywood kikes?

just video data copied between friends, much like home taping. I don't pirate software. I'm comfortable with my morals.

>Post valid logically good reasons why you pirate Sup Forums
I find copyright morally abhorrent and refuse to support it.

>Face it, you're in poverty and poor as shit
Far from it.

It's usually more convenient than buying the software legitimately. E.g. no DRM, online-only, etc.

Who cares?

Money is expensive

They don't sell Rollercoaster Tycoon in stores anymore

I'm a communist. Hello.

Shit's expensive af.

In the information age there is zero marginal cost to produce a copy of a digital file. There is a negligible cost to transport this copied file across a network. These are immutable facts.You cannot deny how this technology works. The genie cannot go back into the bottle.

Morals don't even enter the conversation of piracy. To pirate digital media is simply to understand how to properly use technology in the information age.

This is evidenced by the nature of streaming services. These services literally download the files you play and store them in a cache location temporarily. You can literally go and get these files before they get wiped. Would moving the cached file to a more permanent location constitute piracy? Antipiracy efforts are based on ensuring ineffective use of computers and computer networks and to misinform the public about the facility of transporting information in the information age.

Because software copyright undermines the post scarcity of software and the free market.

because I fucking can faggot

>Post valid logically good reasons
Its fucking free

>If I want to watch 1,000 movies I have to pay $20,000

lol no
also, movie actors and actresses are grotesquely over-paid

Why should I pay when I get the same shit for free and not have to worry about DRM locking me into some platform?

don't let him know

>investing it for your own well being

>save money to further my life
>somehow user is on welfare?

I am lazy as shit and it's usually easier. For example, every year I order a month of HBO Now for Game of Thrones, and every year it streams low quality and buffers all the time. So I cancel and continue pirating.

When I had no income I had to pirate to get anything, but even now that I get paid a ton I can't bring myself to buy stuff.
Why would I pay for something I can get for free? The only thing I miss out on is multiplayer games which doesn't matter because I have no friends anyway.

why would I pay for something that I can get for free? that's retarded

Can't but CorelDraw X7 anywhere, have to pirate it.

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 am rich,I didn't get rich by making stupid investments,pirating is not economically wise,it is rather fun too,outjewing the jews.

Get fucked toddlerOP

Depending upon what moral theory you reference, you could argue that it is your moral imperative to pirate. For example in Utilitarianism it would morally wrong not to pirate. In such a situation you are choosing between the welfare of the masses who derive pleasure from what they pirate and the welfare of an extremely small minority of individuals who produced the digital good.

The people who actually produced the goods such as animation experts, lighting experts, functionaries on the set, etc... are paid a meagre salary and an extremely small minority of stakeholders such as the board of a studio, large shareholders, and the few actors in leading roles derive the main benefits.

The issue with this is that this style of Utilitarianism leads those who actually produce the goods to feel disincentivized to produce them at all. And hence we have struck one of the core problems of capitalism. A select few must always flourish at the expense of the masses, as any other result disincentives them to expend capital.

Thank you based Stallman.

I dunno man one could also argue that the lower sales and lack of proper compensation actually deceases innovation and progress
Ignoring the legal aspect, I think it's a massive case of positive externalities

Not advocating for (((supporting))) companies, but I have bought my games only when they were old or 75-99% off. Same for Windows and Office, got them for only a few dollars.

I pirate because I don't consider digital data property. It's not my problem if this doesn't fit in your moral framework.

are these people you mentioned paid by contract for a set sum? I assume so, and thus they should not be bothered by torrents.
Those who pays the people, however, rely on sales, which are affected by torrents (sometimes positively, sometimes negatively). Copies sold always outweight copies torrented, therefore noone is hurting, someone is only making less monthly profit.

Another theory of mine is that people who torrent do not buy games at all, so no profit is lost anyway. There are, of course, exceptions, like someone buying a game when there's no torrent of it, or someone buying the game because the torrented version was good and worthy of the money. Either way, noone is losing money.

>Post valid logically good reasons why you pirate Sup Forums
Because it's the best and most convenient way to watch a movie digitally. The alternative is to pay to be inconvenienced, which is not logical.

Also I unironically pirate games that don't have a demo to demo them, then buy it on steam if I decide I'm going to play it.

Sounds like you're jealous. Whats your problem with pirating? It damages only those with too much money.

Also I don't pirate, I create security copies.

>paying for porn

1. You can't buy all stuff. (Some chinks cartoons, games, even films)
2. It is easier, than using iTunes, steam or whatever. There you have to buy with credit card, wait for fucking SMS verification... There you can just download and boom. (And yes, physical copies (CDs, DVDs, USB zip disquettes) are easy to buy as well, but now it is more difficult to find one.)
3. Some stuff just doesn't cost money they want, or you just want to try it, or you need enterprise grade software for hobby (solidworks, autocad...).

everything a man can need

so you are into rutorrent porn

I hate to pay money for things I don't need to pay money for.

I also have no qualms about stealing: I shoplift when it's convenient.

It's ethically wrong, but so are copyright laws, so what the hell.

There's problems in the market right now. Take movies for example. Netflix has a perfect model, amazing price, but it doesn't have all the movies. Then we have to get other services, and the sum of all the services may still not have enough movies, and we'd have to buy in annoying ways. So if it's not on Netflix/Amazon, it's just easier to torrent for now.

Anime is hard to buy physical copies, and we can already stream for free on crunchyroll, but they have the same problem of not having enough, so naturally people move to other ways.

Games is a pretty easily solved problem, just make all the games online-only. There's just no other way. I like single player rpgs a lot but I torrent them just because I can. If they had to be connected to a server for some time to validate then I'd have to buy it to play.

>pirates everything, even free games
I do the same always that I can, unless the game doesn't have any kind of DRM.

Because i don't care. If i want to watch Star Trek i have to have netflix, if i want to meme it up with Mr. Robot i have to have Amazon Prime, if i want to watch The Path i have to have hulu ORRRRR i could get it all in one place at my discretion/pace. It's easier to manage/consume. If you wanna pay, you do you. More corporate dick for you too suck. I only suck trap dick.

Because I can get away with it easily.

If I pirate Adobe Photoshop, train myself in Adobe Photoshop for free, and fuck about with it as a hobby, I stand to make no money off of it, ever. No damages done to Adobe.

If I become some kind of publication artist, then I might still never make any real money off of it. No damages to Adobe.

If I'm an even smaller fraction of people who stand to make actual money off of it, then I will have to buy a license. Either Adobe gets the compensation they deserve, or they sue you like they did to Forever 21.

Pirating Photoshop kills Adobe's competition, trains people and makes them dependent on the software over that of any competitors. Trust me, they don't mind. It's almost certainly part of their business model.

Why would I pay for something I can get for free?

Piracy is robbery. That’s forcefully taking something from its possessor against their will.

With file sharing no one takes against anyone’s will. It may be that through incompetence or negligence some claim to copyright is de facto abandoned, but that’s certainly no fault of the innocent downloader nor anyone with whom he shares.

if you play games, the only games that cannot be pirated are ones that are online. otherwise, there is no definite verification, no complete 100% way to tell if it's pirated or not..

Lucky for me, i have no friends. so im happy w/single-player.

you should make a film.

i unironically want to write a book about surviving here. I'm currently a pharmacy student, selling t-shirts and computer parts online, ghost producing music and doing automechanics part time on college vacancy

It convenient, cheap and I get to larp as a computer hacker when I get around the governments attempt to block piratebay

to piss off the jew

Why pay to watch something that airs on a TV service I already pay. And if it doesn't then I pirate to protest that my TV service doesn't air it. Added to that I don't use the TV service often because it's fucked with adverts. I pay for that shit, why am I forced to watch ads as well! If I pirate I can download a high quality version and watch it on any device I choose

so your actual answer is because you're lazy? you can get it for free EASILY, and you are putting your money towards things you CAN get for free just like you are getting software for free (i.e. stealing) but it takes a modicum of effort. so you're lazy is why.

It's easier than the alternative. I have a Netflix account for when I need to see something immediately but I hate streaming with a passion. If there were a way to keep all of my purchased content on my network that didn't involve the hassle of ripping disks I would do that. Proof: over 500 purchased games in my steam library, gaben knows what's up on the war against piracy.

I'm a bit of a retrofag, and many, many things i play don't have an actual release that gives the developer profit, so i just pirate it because the option is paying a bunch of retarded scalpers money.

I don't want to give money to Marxist Hollywood kikes who want people like me dead

It's basically what you said + sometimes it's a lot easier to pirate.

If you play any 3D vidya I'd tell you to upgrade but the AGP slot means that you'll probably be limited to ancient cards. ATi had some really killer cards at the time; go find some.

>Post valid logically good reasons why you pirate Sup Forums
DRM software. Region restrictions.

Additional things on media stuff. For example - Daria TV series. TV series have poor quality, but have music. DVD version have good quality, but does not have music (re-licensing problems). I can't see this series with music and good quality legally. But there are some good people, who merge tv audio tracks with dvd video, for non-profit.

Lots of programs don't actually do what I want them to do.

russians don't pay for school, it's free

force of habit at this point desu

Because I can. Also it triggers retards so thats a plus. Why pay when you can get it for free ?

>it's free
Americans have public schools too, aren't they?

I could die at any moment, you could die at any moment, anyone can and many people do die every second of the day. Why save up for something so uncertain and vague as "the future." Do whatever the fuck you want, do whatever makes you content. Our time is short and all life is transient, enjoy it while it lasts. If you want to slave away your life for a paycheck, then by all means, have fun. But don't push your sad idea of the meaning of life on other people :)

I don't feel guilt, for quite a lot of shit. I think it's the autism.
That being said, egregious copyright laws aren't really a good thing for a variety of areas including long term economic growth, the medical industry, anything related to research, etc.
It's really only the entertainment industry where you could even attempt to argue that they help anything, and the entertainment industry is quite irrelevant in the grand scheme of things.

Eurofag here, I make 5k euros a month, I pirate because I don't care

the right question is why dont you do it

I'm not a fucking buyfag who's going to willingly get ripped off.
