To be fair, you pirates always look like starving entitled whiny bastards. You want everything free in life and feel like you have the right and duty to take it from others. You can’t pay even $5 for a fucking game? Lmao you obviously can but choose to be a parasite and not to.
And before you come here telling me that it’s not stealing and these aren’t physical items, what I mean is that you’re actively hurting honest businesses and small artist. You’re taking thier products, making exact copies of it and then distributing them freely. You’re not competing economically making your own product, you’re just leeching off from someone else’s hard work and then killing any opportunity they could have of profiting from it.
Y all act like selling is something bad, but I have news for you: That’s how the world works! People need to buy food, pay rent and pay bills, and they’re not doing it by just making things free
silent_water [she/her]you’re just leeching off from someone else’s hard work
so are the people profiting from said work. the owners of the business keep the revenue, they don’t give it to the people who did the hard work.
The people who did the work are employees, and they’re paid according to the task they perform. Companies get a share obiusly, because that’s the business model, they’re the ones who have to put in place a workplace, assemble a team, acquire resources and so on
justifying the expropriation of surplus value through tired liberal platitudes - it’s almost like someone wrote a book 200 years ago explaining in gratuitous detail why you’re wrong.

Bootlickers like you also make this claim to justify insulin having thousands of percent markup from the cost of manufacture.
BurgerPunk [he/him, comrade/them]Its just the business model for leeches at the top to siphon off all the value created by peopoe who actually do the work. This is why pirating is so awful. Think of the C-suite overlords and shareholders!!!
