It doesn’t matter if it’s a CD, a Film, or manual with the instructions to build a spaceship. If you copy it, the original owner doesn’t lose anything. If you don’t copy it, the only one missing something (the experience) is YOU.

Enjoy!

Of course, if you happen to have some extra money for donations to creators, please do so. If you don’t have that, try contributing with a review somewhere or recommending the content, spread the word. Piracy was shown to drive businesses in several occasions by independent and biased corps (trying to show the opposite).

    Stop pretending you don’t know what I am referring to. I am talking about online piracy, which is “the practice of downloading and distributing copyrighted works digitally without permission”.

    this is just copying Copying files is not necessary piracy.

      What’s the issue exactly? People pirate for different reasons. We get it, you pirate because you feel like it. You do you. Some people pirate because they can’t afford it, or something isn’t legally available in their area, or as a protest about greedflation, etc. The high seas welcome all sailors, whatever their motivations, so long as they don’t harass their fellow pirates.

      By the way, these comments are fucking hilarious guys.

        There’s no issue, really. I am just wondering why there seems to be a tendency across piracy community towards ethics, which is just offtopic to me. You’re not in a court, and no one cares about your justification.
