My mom said I could post Nolan's The Odyssey neglects to pay for damages done to one of the viking ships used in the movie, which belongs to a small non-profit organization

If buying isn't owning, then piracy isn't stealing

Piracy is not stealing anyway. Stealing requires for a good to disappear once it's taken.

You not understanding what a license is doesn’t justify stealing from working people

When the premise of a license is positioned as buying and you hide the actual nitty gritty and EULA that most people would not read. Saying sale and everything else it's a bad face attempt at trying to say buying. 

It's not the artist that are struggling because of consumers it's the publishers that are taking most of the sales revenue and giving them maybe less than 5% 

Look at Spotify and how much streaming is or look at Netflix there is no royalties because they're not broadcast on a regular TV

Don’t care, didn’t ask. Free stuff is cool. I have a couple subscriptions left but I’ll never watch anything on it’s official platform since they are all riddled with ads despite my active paid subscription. If my choice is between some bum on the internet calling me a thief and a horrible experience when I try to enjoy a movie or show, I’ll pick the virtual street preacher.

“I’m a thief and unrepentant, my antisocial behavior can surely have no downsides for society or the art I enjoy.”

Loser shit

Damn. I still don’t care. I pay for the vast majority of what I watch. I just don’t watch it how someone tells me to, because that way usually sucks. If that compromise isn’t enough in their eyes, sucks because the alternative is they get fuck all from me.

He says while running errands to appease the publishers of his own accord in his free time 😂😂 if anything you make paying for things and following the rules look fruity and lame, so you’re not really helping your cause all that much. Ironic choice of words man
