@Illuminatus @gamesbymanuel I guess, for me, the harm done by the platform is done by the platform to me and the creator; but the harm done by piracy is done by me, to the platform (which I couldn't care less about) but also to the creator. So, particularly for single-creator products like albums or books, I do not pirate. Even though the platform will screw me, I prefer not to screw the creator.
Mostly you can sidestep this for books by going through the library.
@whetstone @gamesbymanuel We can work around it by getting physical copies, also, as long as companies don't make them disappear because they want to "fence their garden".
