Is paying isn’t owning, then pirating is just borrowing.
Edit : Oops …made the is, isn’t
You’re not really taking anything from anyone. They still have it.
You could say that you took a sale from them but if the only option is to purchase, they would not get a sale from me.
If they would have, they did.
If you’re buying merch, they probably do. In fact, I think hbo said this about game of thrones.
God! What a time that was. 6 or seven years of hype for that show and the hype died as quickly as it ended.
It’s a good show, but it seems that the last time everyone was dialed into the same show.
Having recently set sail again after a more than a decade-long hiatus, I am definitely having a much better experience. All streaming services have been booted, and my TV has been disconnected from the internet. Replaced with a mini-PC running Linux and serving Jellyfin (and Freetube for accessing YouTube ad-free). Still have an active Spotify subscription, but I am already using it a lot less than before. Will be phasing it out as my music collection becomes more complete. Purchased my first albums from Bandcamp recently - first direct purchase of music in over a decade. Bad timing with the Bandcamp acquisition though, hoping it doesn’t go tits up, and if so - here’s hoping to a good alternative to get proper ownership over DRM-free music while giving me an opportunity to pay and support those musicians I like who are not already filthy rich.
What do you use to torrent? Do you have any recommendations to do this safely?
TOR browser and a decent VPN.
Personally use Nord VPN but guessing from how infrequently it gets recommend by folks on lemmy I’m guessing it’s not the best.
Tor is good but not practical for piracy, a VPN is more than enough. That said nord is quite a bad option. In general if a company sponsors in yt, its a bad product
And intellectual property is no property!

The entitlement is real. Stick to right to repair.
