Do you pirate? And do you justify pirating? i.e., what is your piracy philosophy?

Well, my friend, he's kinda poor he can't afford some books and some streaming services, so he pirates. He pirate books, audiobook and videos and other stuff. Sometimes he buys books he likes a lot out of loyalty to the author (yeah, I don't understand it either), he likes to read physical books, but yeah, if he hates the author or just wants to skim through it, he will download the book.
He usually doesn't like to pirate from small companies or professors who are trying to make a living by selling books, but from millionaires & plenty of mega corps which already have loads of money, he feels like it's the right move to pirate
Also, have you ever noticed that you have felt that the value of a product has decreased just because you didn't pay for it, thus you are less interested to read it? i.e., had you paid for the book, you would have more likely read that book.
He says he will buy stuff when his time is more valuable than money, let's all hope that day is soon.
What are your piracy habits?
You're viewing a single thread.
I pirate movies because they split content into multiple streaming service with separate prices. And some of those are not available in my area.
I pay for music streaming because the service is easy, wherever you go, the content is almost the same, so you won't miss any content or if any it's minimal. It will just go down to what service preference you would like.
I pirated console games in the past before digital, because some of the games were not available in our area. Now it's easy to purchase so I wait for a sale and purchase.
I buy knockoff items if it's cheap and unimportant. I buy legit items if it's important and I need quality and after sales support.
Nearly exactly the same for me. TV and movie streaming services are so fragmented that it's ridiculous. So I pirate them at times. Mostly I don't even have a ton of interest in them at all though.
Thankfully music streaming services don't seem to have undergone fragmentation issues and I hope they never do. I pay for music streaming as well. The service is just so much better than TV and movie streaming garbage.
