Back to the point of money and piracy, like I said, one “pays” for media in one way or another.
While I agree with you on everything this point is not 100% true. I am paying thousand of $CURRENCY on disks and other hardware every few years but I feel that for every side of the coin, there is a minimum situation (let’s call it a floor situation) on which less privileged people may find themselves.
For example if you are a bachelor already struggling to pay to be in college or a child that has only access to their parent’s computer, piracy is literally free and you can reach to it without paying anything on top of what you have already. On the other hand, netflix is always $CURRENT_PRICE regardless of your situation.
Btw, thank you for making articulate posts. This is why I am on lemmy.
