just saying that people not paying for things increases the overall cost of those things. the collective of normies pays your fair share.
embrace it my dude, it is what it is.
I would disagree.
If a person purchases entertainment then the overall revenue and profit for that product would be increased. This increase in profitability from last product reduces the pressure to increase prices for future products.
What occurs with piracy is that a person that may have otherwise purchased the product, not do so; lowering the profit of the company and driving increases in price to remain profitable. While this is not the case for people that would otherwise not buy the product at all, there are still a number of pirates that would pay for something if a pirated version did not exist, and so there is an effect.
I’m not attacking you personally, I’m simply stating that piracy is not victimless. I think we should all taking ownership for the harm we cause others even if it is something small.
