@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".

@whetstone @gamesbymanuel It is something I have lost the count of the times I've done, including, many times, stuff that I wouldn't have watched/listened to/read in the first place. I got to more artists, specially in music, and bought their CDs through piracy than if I hadn't done it. |
@Illuminatus @gamesbymanuel I also sometimes think about the possibility of purchasing the broken, fenced version *in addition* to getting a pirated copy. Basically, pay once to send whatever share of that value would go to the creator(s), then pirate to ensure that you do in fact actually *own* the damn thing.
