    If I could afford it I wouldn't pirate. I would also want to support the artists and teams rather than the corporations and propagandists. Using a piece of software once is very different than using or benefiting from it all the time (some software you use once but have lasting effects).

    Piracy is NOT damage and it's not lost earnings either. If anything it's captured audiences. If we were somehow not able to pirate and we couldn't afford their propaganda we'd be turning to alternative entertainment and potentially be exposed to new revolutionary ideas.

    I prefer the donate if it's good model. Unfortunately that will rule out a lot of folks who try but won't ever be good, but it will also make many up their game.

      Who're you warning? Me or Jason? Either way this is a month old post, where were you earlier? And how exactly is this illegal activity? Like is advocating for piracy illegal or suggesting pirate sites? Just askin'.

        Well if anything... I guess remove this post? I guess do something to prevent from this as being a bargaining chip to take us down, either way why would someone care that I, a non-US person, pirates? Just do what you think's best.
