Piracy, just fucktons of piracy.
Living in the Global South, if I didn't pirate as much stuff as I do, I don't really know if I'd even be able to speak English. I've been pirating games, books and movies for most of my life. A single Playstation game costs about 25% of the monthly minimum wage where I live.
One could even say that "as far back as I can remember, I always wanted to be a pirate" ayy
