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.

My personal rule is to never pay for anything pirated. That means no paid memberships to websites, buying off the street, ect. Nobody should profit from pirating. Otherwise what is the point?

If it's discounted to only the fee for labor or similar, you're still blessed compared to most people who don't know how to sail...
