Blocking cancerous messaging isn't piracy.

using adblocker is not piracy. collecting user data without user consent on the other hand...

shit, life would be shit.

How much do you get paid by copyright interests to post this shit? Cuz I can't for the life of me imagine why anyone on Jow Forums of all places would give a shit about other people pirating things.

You Can't Buy a Dinosaur with a Dime

I do shit illegally and I do not even bother because my country sucks

Not only have I not considered it, I was raised to live that way.

I'm not 13 anymore. I stopped pirating ages ago when I got a good paying job that made money useless.

This is true. Pirated games were at one point the only available ones, if you were a kid in 1990s Eastern Europe you either played pirated games or you weren't playing anything at all.

No.

I've yet to find any site that delivers better quality or less stutter than bdrips stored on my local NAS.

I started doing this without thinking cuz all I play is Overwatch and watch youtube

Hike your skirt and bend over, Sweetie.

Adblock is almost necassary to browse the web nowadays. Malware ridden ads are fucking cancer.
Rom hacking isn't piracy either, neither are emulators are hacking consoles.
But no. Piracy is too convenient.

Hollywood sucks balls, hiphop is garbage, videogames have been ruined, Windows and OSX have taken a turn for the worst. It's somewhat easy to live life without pirating anything.

go sleep gramp and take ur pills

Adblock is not piracy but that aside the "pirates are entitled" argument makes me instantly mad. They don't care about your morals enough to be entitled, they're just doing it because clearly piracy is the superior product in one form or another.

>Adblock is almost necassary to browse the web nowadays. Malware ridden ads are fucking cancer.
This. Especially on mobile. So many of those idiot "ads" that hijack my browser to a page that vibrates my phone and says it's infected. Switched to Firefox and added uBlock Origin, now everything works so much better.

I'll disable ad blocking when the ad industry pulls its head out of its ass.

A pirate walks into a bar. The bartender says "Hey, did you know there is a a steering wheel in your pants?" The pirate goes "ARRRRGGGG and it's driving me nuts!"

Publishers often refer to copying they don't approve of as “piracy.” In this way, they imply that it is ethically equivalent to attacking ships on the high seas, kidnapping and murdering the people on them. Based on such propaganda, they have procured laws in most of the world to forbid copying in most (or sometimes all) circumstances. (They are still pressuring to make these prohibitions more complete.)

If you don't believe that copying not approved by the publisher is just like kidnapping and murder, you might prefer not to use the word “piracy” to describe it. Neutral terms such as “unauthorized copying” (or “prohibited copying” for the situation where it is illegal) are available for use instead. Some of us might even prefer to use a positive term such as “sharing information with your neighbor.”

A US judge, presiding over a trial for copyright infringement, recognized that “piracy” and “theft” are smear words (torrentfreak.com/mpaa-banned-from-using-piracy-and-theft-terms-in-hotfile-trial-131129/).

>A US judge

I don't give a shit about what piracy means in US, in my country piracy for personal usage is totally okay.

Life would be better if anime never existed

Does going to the public library count?

You deserve die slow and painful.

So edgy, what dark anime character are you imitating?

Have you ever considered that copyright is an unjust system which doesn't actually promote innovation and should be abolished?

Yes. Just beware that the police is often raiding libraries and imprisoning people for piracy because they are doing something 100% legal and lawful, make sure you don't get caught.

i'll turn off ublock when content creators starts compensating me for the effort i put into generating click-money from their content.

only unreasonably expensive or drm-crippled software gets pirated in large scale. there's an oss/foss alternative to pretty much everything except games.

my reason to pirate entertainment is that official sources lacks material that's old and/or considered offensive. what i want, i'll get, no matter who's in my way.

emulation much more handy and platform-independent in comparison to the official solutions. why should you pay for something that is less convenient than the "free" alternative.

Sounds like shit.

please off yourself miles

Hell no. That shit is more expensive than you think and it adds up! You think I'm paying $80+ for Cardcaptor Sakura? I'm not paying $200 to some asshole on ebay either if I want a rare snes game! As for books, I might cave in and buy them because a tablet isn't the same as print. Adblock is a necessity if you don't want malware or have a data cap and music? Sorry but ripping them off of Youtube is just a habit.

Ad blocking is just not wanting to see something that is offered to me. It's not illegal copying of digital information. In fact, it's explicitly not copying digital information and keeping one less copy of digital information being leaked out into the world

But most entertainment coems from the best country in the world, USA!

>Adblock is piracy
>Confused.jpg

>consuming media created by other people and not compensating them financially by supporting their work through ad revenue

it's not piracy per se, but it is theft.

Website owners like to complain that Adblock means no ad revenue. Maybe they should quit serving poisonous crap that gives you malware or uses up all your data if you're on a mobile plan.

Based.

If there was ONE online store, that allowed me to legally purchase literally every piece of content ever created (music, books, movies, anime, tv, porn, games, etc) in the highest quality possible and a DRM free format, and for a reasonable price, I'd stop pirating stuff. That isn't ever going to happen though.
Even if I were to pay for every single streaming service I wouldn't have access to everything, nor could I download it. And some things are only available on DVDs, fuck waiting for shipping and then spending time ripping DVDs.
Piracy is genuinely the more convenient option.

Nothing is consumed in your analogy though

showmakers hate Europe with a dying passion, streaming services like Crunchyroll are pretty much empty, so you have to import them. Not that non-import Blu-rays wouldn't be ridiculously expensive on their own
>no emulators
would have to hunt down the games on ebay, would range from $5-$50. And don't you dare want to play a DS Pokemon game!

spbp, OP is feg
Of course, that was set in stone when he weeb-posted.

Also when torrenting was still a new thing I have personally taught some police officers how to torrent movies when torrenting was still a new concept a long time ago
tfw nobody gets sued for piracy because the police, the prosecutor and the jury all have pirated mp3s on their phone and pirated movies and windows. Hell all of the court's computers run pirated windows probably.

haha

newfaggots like you wouldn't know, but piracy has existed long before that,

I'm a poorfag, so I'd probably kill myself.

>sneakernet.80s

>implying you can pay for anime and get better quality
Not even imported BDs are as good as BDrips played on a good mpv or MPC setup.

I tried crunchyroll.
Its selection is bad, its web player still requires Flash and the video quality is not very good.

Sonarr will automatically download a high quality version of any show I'm watching automatically through my VPN and automatically move it into my Plex library for playback.

Pirating is literally easier, more convenient and offers a better experience than paying.

When the product I'm being sold is as good as or better than what I get for free, I'll stop pirating.

>no adblock
AdBlock is not piracy. It is not copyright infringement to refuse to render certain content with a web browser; neither is it DRM circumvention, at least not yet.

>no pirated software
FOSS equivalents are livable in pretty much all cases. They're often not as polished or supported, but you can get just about the same things done - unless your workplace relies on paid software, but then you're probably not pirating them anyway.

>no music/books/docs downloaded from non-official sources
"Non-official" is a weird term to use over "pirated". Is Project Gutenberg "non-official", despite being completely legal?

>no anime/manga
At least in English-speaking countries there's a large catalog of anime on Crunchyroll you can literally watch for free in 480p. Even in Europe it's of decent size, though nowhere near as packed. As for manga, larger cities should have decently packed libraries.

>no emulators
Emulators are not piracy. Especially in the case of disc-based systems, where not even cartridge dumping is required.

>no soft/hard mod-in video games
I assume you mean modchips and flashcards? Why bother with a video game console anyway if there's plenty of free video games available, either via timed sales, libre development or simply some very old titles being released as freeware by their creators?

In other words, none of what you mentioned is particularly difficult. Let me fix this for you.

>no listening to music on youtube

>Publishers
Yes, because it is publishers who named The Pirate Bay.

Blocking achievements is NOT piracy, for you NOT "pirating" content, you're simply circumventing the advertisements

>$80 for Cardcaptor Sakura
The show has 70 episodes, user. That comes down to slightly over $1 an episode, which is generally considered a fair price for digital distribution, let alone physical.

>adblock is piracy
Are you an idiot?
Also, there's objectively nothing wrong with piracy.

im not a slave, so it never crossed my mind

>Have you ever considered living a life without free thoughs at all?
Because that's what completely blocking piracy would need.

There's only PG13 anime on there. Most anime I watch is rated R.

But your webm doesn't prove jackshit. Going for a massively popular show sure will get you active seeds.
