I am ashamed that I hadn’t reasoned this through given all the rubbish digital services have pulled with “purchases” being lies.

The media corporations in their greed and cruelty have long earned violent reprisal and deserve to be sacked.

Pirating their content is comparatively petty.

But better still is to not pirate their content and let it remain unseen and forgotten.

The reward for creators and artists is to become a part of culture. The promise of riches is a false, capitalist dream.
