The PSA's are wrong, I absolutely would download a car if that were a thing I could do. Edit: also they say you wouldn't steal a car but who are they to judge, they don't know me, maybe I would steal a car huh ever think about that

I'm gonna download a blender model of a car and then 3D print it so that when I have visitors over I can point at it and say "Yeah, that's right, I didn't pay a cent for that baby  "

Sometimes I'll pirate something I own just because it's easier than figuring out what the gently caress my login info is or dealing with finding/using CDs or whatever.

back when i lived in beijing i used to go to these awesome fake dvd stores, they were just packed with every movie they could find including weird euro ones and festival indie flicks, shelves of them like they were 90s vhs stores or whatever. I'd just fill up my arms with as many I could carry and fill my high school brain with the weirdest films and lovely knockoff horror movies

All of you pirates have destroyed the media companies. Now, none of them make money and we all are suffering. Think of all the HBO executives, struggling to pay for a skimpy hundred foot yacht. What about the missing ad revenues? Those poor actors who can only afford ten Porches instead of twenty. Have you no compassion for the struggling media mogul who has a private fleet of aircraft? How will he pay for all those planes and helicopters? You all need to think long and hard about how your piracy affects the content creators.

Imagine having a machine that can copy everything for zero cost. It would be heavily guarded. If you want a thing, you gotta pay. Instead of copying the machine and having it everywhere so everyone can have everything. Nice world you got there.

RepeatingMeme posted:Let’s keep this conversation nice and clean, please don’t link to any sites or illegal downloads. This also isn't a how-to or anything, google is right over there you can figure it out on your own. This is just a conversation about your feelings on illegally downloading content. I do indeed. I resolve the moral tangle by (truthfully) saying that either i don't buy it and don't watch/listen to it OR I pirate it and watch/listen to it. Those are the two options. There is no conceivable way that I would buy it, so the creators are actually neither losing anything nor gaining anything. I donate to small time creators and purchase certain things; I also pay for Google Play for music and borrow logins for netflix and amazon. Google Play is an example of those content owners making it easy for me to not pirate and I'm happy to pay that fee to have access to all the music. Mostly I pirate games (which I usually end up playing for about 5 or 10 minutes and quitting, if they're actually good I'll pay for them), big budget movies (as you said, gently caress em), and books. I probably feel the worst about pirating books and every couple months I'll take the best three books I read in that time and purchase them / donate directly to the author.

Piracy is good and I'm not only okay with it i believe in encouraging it and propagating it as a practice i see great utility in causing direct harm to the kinds of corporations that tend to benefit most from the current state of copyright law. I actually purchase stuff still but that's on my discretion and tbh is reserved for indie game studios and other similarly small scale operations like lol i haven't purchased an Activision or EA or Ubisoft product in literally years and I'm not really softening this policy as i age. Oh well i really don't care what antipiracy people have to say anymore. I enjoy being able to make a moral call with my wallet without losing out on fun stuff most of the time lol

Why would anyone feel bad about pirating movies? Everyone whose livelihood is working on them gets paid before (and whether or not) it gets released. Everyone else involved is just trying to find something to do with their extra millions of dollars.

Everyone else involved is just trying to find something to do with their extra millions of dollars. Also Hollywood usually finds a way to cook the books so they don't actually technically "make" any money when calculating the payout anyway That's one reason why there's no Mad Max sequel coming - the studio claims they "lost" money despite selling millions of tickets and making way more money than the film cost to make, and the creator is busy suing them instead of making great movies

Steam got me to buy games again, instead of pirating. If there was a Steam for Movies/TV, without any stupid bullshit restrictions, where you actually owned what you bought, and reasonable prices (more than $10 for a digitally delivered movie laden with DRM is not reasonable to me) I would likely use it.

Its about convenience. I buy games because Steam makes it very convenient. I don't buy streaming service subscriptions because I'd have to sub to a half dozen different networks to watch the poo poo I want when you can get it all in one convenient location if you know what I mean.

Yeah I don't get the people trying to discourage or shame piracy by saying it's stealing. Stealing is cool as gently caress and doing it to big parasitic corporations run by pedos is one of the few things you can do on this earth that is unambiguously morally good.

The reason piracy took off in the first place was because in a lot of instances it was way more convenient. Straight up. You could fire up your torrent tracker of choice and have your movie in minutes vs. driving to the video rental place and hoping they had what you wanted. The reason piracy died off was because Netflix correctly understood that people cared about convenience more than anything else. You make a service that's more convenient than piracy and people will use it. The reason piracy is coming back is because it's swinging back to being more convenient again.

Jestery posted:I like piracy as a means to access content that is difficult to get Much of what I've downloaded over the years was (at least at the time I downloaded it) flat-out impossible to legitimately obtain anywhere at any price. You'd have to be a big-time corporate whore to have any moral objection to that.

imo if something is impossible to obtain for any reason, pirating it is perfectly fine and should even be legal. Yes, it is still someone's intellectual property, but you have no way of giving the holders money and if you did manage to buy it secondhand they wouldn't get any of it anyway. For it to even be available for pirating, it had to have been owned by whoever the original uploader may have been at a time when it was available for purchase, so there isn't even any money lost down at the very beginning of the chain. This is why I disagree with taking down emulation sites, because a lot of the games on them have been out of production for decades and there's no more money to be made on them. It's especially evident because people won't buy those games again anyway outside of extremely steep discounts- see the lackluster release of the SNES Classic, the PS1 Classic, and so on. The Sega classics catalog on Steam is a huge library and the games are only a couple bucks apiece, showing that there IS a way to bring these games back, but most companies would rather sit on their property and do nothing with it than let it live again, and it's very sad.
