piracy

I'm not exactly against piracy but I don't see it as morally good. If anything I see it in the same way Gabe Newell sees piracy. It's not a good or bad force but rather a sort of force of human nature that comes about when companies can't make a decent service. The only way to kill piracy is by making a user experience that is better than constantly searching for torrents. You need a decent platform that people are willing to pay for. Enshitification is basically a summoning circle for pirates. Sirusly covering your platform with scam ads is just gonna make demand for ad blockers. Not selling old games at all is just gonna make demand for emulators. Charging $50 dollars for a text book is just gonna make demand for a PDF scans. It's crap like that that makes me consider piracy good and a necessity today.
