Are you saying I wouldn’t steal a car, or a handbag, or a television, or a dvd? So piracy is a crime?

Are you really making that argument in 2025? You must be very young.

Bittorrent didn’t become popular because no one wanted to pay for things. In fact people stopped when Netflix was good. I stopped, all my friends stopped. It was no longer a mainstream thing. We even put up with a few price hikes. Then 1 service became whatever and people started torrenting and streaming sites started popping up.

Everyone was willing to pay for convenience. No ones wants to pay even more for in convenience.

You’ll note music piracy is not really a thing anymore. Thanks Spotify.
