Piracy preserves media.

Piracy preserves art.

Piracy makes sure, that future generations still have access to the creation of humanity.

Data hoarding is a service to the public.

I initially perceived piracy similarly to how or perceive reading about archaeology and such, so the fact that someone is sincere in hating p2p copying and calling it immoral just felt preposterous.

Yet now it seems plenty of normies will agree. Then go listen to something they didn’t pay for on YouTube or Facebook or whatever, because “everybody uses that”. What “everybody uses” is fine, see. What they condemn me the pirate for is using ed2k, torrents and such other technologies. Even when I’m literally downloading public domain stuff or abandonware.

It doesn’t take much for media though to parade out the “lil guy and change the opinion of people about how your basically attacking small time creators”
