What does Jow Forums think about piracy?

because lawyers need to send money to isreal

Same goes for media. My local library rents out anything from video games to music to movies.

One of the greatest leaps forward of the millennium.

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 separate. All the so-called piracy is really unauthorized copying.

so product literaply not being avaliable in library is a good reason?

>paying $5000 for photoshop and vegas
>paying $60 a pop for todays excuse for a videogame
>purchasing an operating system ever
I shiggydiggy

No because I still don't believe you can't afford it.

Why do you need photoshop and vegas? Are you are professional media editor that need their ultra-niche features? If not, their consumer alternatives like photoshop elements and vegas movie studio are dirt cheap. And free alternatives exist too of course.

Likewise, for games and OS, why do you feel entitled to getting the absolute newest and priciest alternatives? You know there's a reason they are so expensive, it's that they spent a shitload on developing it. But if you just wait a few weeks or months there are always huge sales. I haven't spent more than $20 on a single game for many years.

its the only thing that makes me want to use computers

i can but why should i when i can get it for free and have a nice dinner with the saved money

Because the people that made it didn't do so for charity, they made it so that THEY can have a nice dinner in exchange for their work. So what you are doing isn't earning a nice dinner, you're stealing their nice dinner.

i wouldnt pay money for it anyway lol

>not making a point

>being a Fag
>Makes . on Jow Forums

Kill you're self faggot

point is im not stealing their nice dinner
i decide that their software is worth $0 to me, if it was valued any more than that, i wouldnt pay for it
there doesnt exist a dinner for them in either situation, what doesnt exist cannot be stolen
>needing to point to be elaborated

If you mean digital piracy, then it's the best thing that ever happened to software distribution. DRM and (((intellectual property))) should be illegal.

That guy wasn't me.

But yeah, you are basically an entitled fuckwad then.

I don't, I just do it. Torrent movies, music, software when needed. Although lately I've been using a tidal and deezer ripper for music and a stolen darknet spotify account.
Empornium for porn, rutracker for music, qbittorrent built in search for movies, nyaa for anime.

95% of what I pirate I wouldn't buy anyway. 1% I end up buying afterwards just because I like it so much.

I guess the remaining 4% is immoral because I'm depriving the author of a legitimate sale which would have occured otherwise, but that's far and away not the worst problem for the world, or even for the publishers of the pirated content most likely. In the end, the $30 or so I'd spend on it is worth much more to me than to a large company (or even a small company, provided we're not talking about literal one man studios with tiny revenue). So it's kinda like the story of the widow that gave two Jewish pence in the Gospel, except I would be giving it not to the church but to some corporation I don't necessarily even care about.

>Piracy is an act of robbery or criminal violence by ship or boat-borne attackers upon another ship or a coastal area
It's bad

>why do you feel entitled to getting the absolute newest and priciest alternatives?
It's not obviously anons fault. It's how games are marketed. He could easily be deceived into thinking he's left out if he doesn't acquire games at release. And in some cases he is because of how social the game enthusiasts are now.

I don't disagree with you though. It just personally hadn't struck me that this is what's going on.

sure if being entitled fuckwat keeps my pocket full ill be one

isn't qbitorrent botnet

Cause I won't give money to corporations who are SJW's and/or push politics in my face when I only want to chill from real world topics, even if it's for 20 mins.

Fpbp

I support privacy.

Not that i'm aware of. I use it strictly for the search and do all my actual torrenting in rtorrent and tixati

Stealing shitty games is fine by me.

Stop using that propaganda word "piracy". It creates retards like who think it's stealing.

desu i partly do it because the name is so cool
my seedbox is called tortuga

Nothing wrong with it

I admit it's stealing, and I'll do it all day erryday. the only shit I pay for is when I find a quality product from an indie artist/small biz

i used to pirate a lot when i was younger but once i got a job, i just started buying my shit or using free alternatives

How can you be such a deluded freetard?

Yes, you are not physically removing a copy of something.. that does not mean you aren't consuming an asset which is charged for money legitimately.

You autistic fucking moron.

I "pirate" games to demo them for a few hours and if I like it I buy it

Worthless posts.

Piracy is good for me and millions of others. It's extremely important for tech and culture development. If we gonna reinvent the wheel every day because some asshole think they own the wheel we will get nowhere. Sharing is caring, pirate and spread everything that are useful to you!

If it weren't for rampant piracy, we wouldn't have the easily availability of streaming services and cheaper media we have today. Keep trying faggot.

>legitimately
Hahahaha you don't own shit. Just as little as you own the words you write with, which you did not invent nor pay for.
Poopmouths like you hinders progress by massive autistic faggotry. Free information and resources is the future, your stupid ideas of owning the world will die with you.

>watching /v/ getting btfo
always a pleasure

> Free information and resources is the future
Why should you be entitled to my thoughts and what I do with them? kys you fucking commie.

It’s only OK in certain circumstances. Otherwise pirates just make the botnet stronger.

So, never.
