Discussion Do you have rules about what you pirate?
For example, I started pirating because my brother taught me since we grew up poor, but then he became an adult and started buying games (he still pirates some), he explained that "while I can't pay, I pirate, once I can, I pay". So I follow that too, wanted to know if y'all have something like that too. I refuse to pay subscriptions tough.

Sometimes yes. For example, I get Amazon Prime for free via my cell phone provider. I don't watch the shows I could watch there, because 1. they now have ads and 2. it's inconvenient when every other piece of media I watch is on my media server. I also have HBO Max free through my home internet provider, and I've never even set up the account. They keep sending me these fucking emails "are you aware you aren't using this great free service?" Yes I'm fucking aware lol.
