The amount of games I get to enjoy because of piracy… If I couldn’t pirate then I’d never be able to play 95% of the games I’ve played in my life. The past 7 years of my life I’ve been able to watch so many movies and shows that I would never have watched because my family wouldn’t want to spend on more than one streaming option. I get to play so many AAA games without the risk of regretting my purchase. I get to try DAWs without having to pay since I might not be into it in a few months. I’ve always liked games and I hate to imagine what life would be like where I’d have to pay for every single one of these games and softwares. I’d have a lot less exposure to all of this stuff, if it weren’t for piracy.

it’s crazy how much a person has to spend in order to simply not miss out on a lot of things in modern culture without piracy.
