It just doesn't make sense to download movies when you can afford them

Did you dl cobra Kai illegally? You could. Or you could just sub to Netflix. Support the creators.

I watched CK on Netflix.

Who are you giving money to when you mooch and steal off torrents

No one, I get to keep my money, and that's the entire point.

Who Really Profits from Your iTunes Downloads? | InvestingAnswers

Okay

And this makes it okay to download music illegally?

But you paid 15 dollars to watch cobra Kai

 

[John Price]

You seem to think piracy is black and white

It's more complicated than that lol

 

[John Price]

That being said I have a strong urge to consume material rn but I have to wait

Who said it was my Netflix subscription?

I think teddy didn't have blackpink make anything new for like 3 years because that era of blackpink is EPIC

Like everything after that has been so so (HYLT, Lovesick Girls)

BLAKCPINK IN YOUR AREA album was HUGE

 

[John Price]

lol someone uploaded the entire "THE SHOW" on Youtube

Then there are complaints in the comments "SUPPORT ROSE DON'T UPLOAD THIS" "PLEASE ROSE NEEDS OUR MONEY AND RESPECT"

yet another argument against piracy...

 

[John Price]

the biggest issue that triggered me so much from yesterday was your claim that faceless, evil corporations don't need our money

i have paid EA a paltry sum of 100 per year for Battlefield games, including 4,1 and 5

I have no qualms or ethical quandaries about doing so because I like EA and Dice battlefields, even 1 and 5 which were not that bad but that topic is for another day

 

[John Price]

If you don't like something don't steal it just don't buy it

I don't like EA NHL

I don't buy it

simple

"[REDACTED political official] is a jerk telling stories about [REDACTED PRESIDENT], just pirate his book or download it free. Don't give him money."

Well you're willingly downloading his content to read all the salacious details he posted

you could also not pay attention to what he says and not download it

Giant faceless corporations obviously need money to operate.

My point was that my individual contribution is so insignificant that it effectively doesn't matter.

so again you are against giving people you like money for putting in the time to make a good product?

BF4 is a good product

did you pay for it

 

[Sega Dreamcast]

BF4 sold 7 million copies.

Let's graciously say 3.5 million paid full retail and 3.5 million paid half price, which would total 31.5 million dollars.

I bought it on sale for $30 for everything.

30/31,500,000 = 0.000000952380952%

Again, I'm not saying that corporations don't need money, I'm saying that little ol' me is completely irrelevant in the bigger picture, so the whole argument of "Don't you want to support the artists" falls in on itself.

The people that worked on the project got paid when they worked on the project.

Me buying the game would only affect people with percentage points.

 

[Sega Dreamcast]

Grand Theft Auto V sold 20 million units in 2020.

I could have bought Shark Cards with real money, but I instead abused in-game glitches to illicitly gain currency.

Poor little Rockstar with all of these people stealing from them.

lmao

i don't know what this is as I barely play online but this is hilarious

 

[John Price]

I have a million vcash stored in Los Santos from logging in (free deposits) as well as heists

of course due to my low level I keep getting kicked from most heists

 

[Sega Dreamcast]

A few weeks ago, I downloaded some mod menus and dicked around in single player for a while.

It was fun, but GTA V just feels so old at this point

 

[John Price]

The RP is where it's at now

Not sure how that works though, seen some odd twich videos of people playing cops and robbers, they were just riding police cars and hanging out talking in the station
