I remember a few months ago some comics creators were complaining about the various Russian pirate sites for books out there and people were trying to call them classist due to the fact not everyone can afford a comic. Most comic creators are not Hollywood billionaires, they're artists living on the breadline in a lot of cases. By all means pirate of you want to buy people making it out to be moral or honourable wind me up.
Yep. Im ok with people pirating stuff. There is different shit happening in live. Just steal what you need and move on without making it bigger than it needs to be.
But acting like you isnt leeching of others people work, like you are doing a honourable thing and the only ones against it are greedy corporations is fucking cringe. And then there is also people who make it into their personality lol.
That's the thing, everything needs to be a community these days, some people can't just download a torrent now and then and get on with it, they have to start a "community" about it. I've noticed shoplifting is similar these days too.
Now I absolutely need to see this shoplifting community. Please post a link.
I don't know how to copy a link to a community in Jerboa, but one is under shoplifting@lemmy.ml
