Wow that wording, trying to make pirating sound like an evil crime lol. I feel no moral negativity pirating. In fact, my conscience is clean and I feel morally obligated to, considering how expensive they are making services.

I think reading between the lines is the real story: when they get greedy, pirating puts them I check and causes pricing to become affordable and people stop pirating. Once people are not pirating, greed increases and pirates have to return to put them in place again.

In conclusion... we need pirates to balance things out, this pirating is a necessity in our modern age..

You are welcome everyone, I am doing my part for myself and I am doing my part for you.
