Why is this a “Life Hack”? Because it saves A LOT of money.
Its not even controvertial for me. I want more entertainment, the economy is fucked up. I ain’t paying a dime.
Copying =/= Theft
Just Do It ✅️ (see what I did? I just “pirated” a trademarked slogan, IDGAF lol)
Also I don’t care about it if it were theft. I’d shoplift too if I could get away with it as easy as with piracy. Use Direct Downloads, or if torrenting, get VPN. VPNs are cheaper than like 10+ subscriptions and you get to keep everything you download, forever. You could also share the cost of VPN with a few of your fellow pirates (if the providers allow multi-device)
I still buy games that I know I will have good time playing from watching gameplay of others. Movies and shows, though, I almost exclusively pirate nowadays. Books are kinda 50/50, I buy them from official bookstores when I want to throw some money at the author I like (like Brandon Sanderson, who also earns bonus points for releasing his books DRM-free).
For my people who can’t afford books. Your library probably has tons of books for free. So what if you don’t get to it right away and make a copy for later?

Not if you buy your own hardware ;)
