A new survey from Norway reveals that 50% of young people under 30 believe that pirating content is an acceptable way to save money. The survey, conducted by Ipsos, highlights that the high cost of streaming services is a key driver behind this attitude. Links between piracy and organized crime or malware, appear to be of less concern.

Well, since I don't own what I buy, I don't see how pirating is anything other than getting something from a cheaper distributor.

After all, how can I steal something that can't be owned?

You see, streaming is a service and you choosing to not use their service is... uhmm... theft!

hahaha such entitlement from them, right?

Yeah, I'm just watching/playing the content, I'm fine doing that without the license, which is the paid part anyway, right?
