@thatisabigmood I pirated a lot things when I was still a student, and a lot less after I earn a living. I still do it for things that are geographically hard to get or expensive to gather, especially knowing I'm just going to consume them once or none at all anyway.
Overall it's good. I won't buy One Piece merchs and Uniqlo shirts if I didn't pirated their manga. I won't love Zelda, bought Switch just play BotW, if I didn't play Link's Awakening or Link to the Past via emulators.
