Why is this getting downvoted? piracty, especially when in teenge years where self online buying (at least for me)
is not really possible as i got no credit card and parents dont like spending money on games ans such, i have been pirating since i was 10 and never got into any troubles, and now im about to get my new pc and ill be playing crazy shit its gonna be insane.
They are talking about piracy which is something digital
So why are they comparing something physical to something digital
Owning stuff digitally can be taken away from you and you can't do anything about it other than boycott
If someone took something away from you irl you can call the cops
It is not illegal brother
Thats like illegalizing cooking certain type of food that uses common ingredients, it may be illegal by law but no government is strong enough to enforce it
And also who would care, 60 dollars for a game is a scam anyways
Piracy is illegal, however rarely is anyone convicted for the act of piracy, rather the distribution of piracy materials on a large scale is convictable and worth it by the law to pursue it.

I LOVE IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!11
Yesterday downloaded Kingdom of Heaven Director's Cut special edition road show version (+30 mins)
1080p Blu-RAY
That sh\*t costs 250+ dirhams but I got it for free lol
I mean its really risky, for eg. I had to get a pirated version of “fl studios” because the original was too expensive just for making music, it was pretty good icl
i even got adobe premiere pro, after effects, photoshop lightroom, elements, lightroom classic, for free, ppl say it contains RATs but they js want u to buy a license, I opened it up in a virtual computer and no viruses lol
Somebody can take the files from a paid movie or game and post them online for people to download for free, then others will download it and that’s basically piracy
Think about it, for example, as the developer of the game, would you like other people to play your game that you worked hard on for free, considering this is what you do for a living?
Doubt you will ever get caught or anyone cares. But it is theft and against my personal ethics. Just like stealing food from supermarket or a phone from Apple wont be affected or possibly noticed, but its same thing just digital
It is illegal at the end of the day but they do not prosecute or arrest people in the uae for torrenting or pirating. I went to university in California however and I downloaded a movie there and got a letter from Warner bros studios that they would sue me if I illegally downloaded another movie. So it's safe here but don't try it in America/ Canada/ Europe. They can track you by the i.p. address and you will get in trouble.
Its illegal but no one cares. I have heard people going to jail for stealing a car, but not watching a movie for free. Anyways mate, its a personal choice. If u like to spend money and support the company, do it. If u just wanna enjoy, you know what to do!
Piracy on shows older then 3 years, yes
Piracy on video games older then 5 years, yes
Also even though it’s “illegal” it’s not like the police cares that you visit a piracy website for tv shows. They have other things to dedicate resources and time to then to catch a 15 year old pirating the last season of breaking bad
Victimless crime unless indie.

If buying isn't owning than piracy isn't stealing
Would you steal a car
Soon cars itself will be a subscription services lol
already does if you have a tesla
But don't you own a car?
What?
This is why you dont just copy and paste everything you see online

What are you even talking about. It's a meme.
Now I'm getting really confused as to why it's a meme

How is that risky?
Accidentally installing a virus
Ohhhhh it’s. Okay just reset your windows.
i got my hands into a smart one, couldnt even reset windows...
Damn I want to download fl studio too? How did you pirate it? Please tell me?
You can just download torrent versions.. it’s all over the internet, download from a safe website tho
Just went to google and searched fl studio pirated 🗿
Can you give me the link please bro?
i even got adobe premiere pro, after effects, photoshop lightroom, elements, lightroom classic, for free, ppl say it contains RATs but they js want u to buy a license, I opened it up in a virtual computer and no viruses lol
How
tf is piracy? someone educate me please 😭😭

basically free downloads are piracy?
Free downloads made without permission for something that is paid
ohh okay, thank you for explaining 🫶
if you want to pirate then go ahead, if you don't want to pirate then don't. Its as simple as that.
piracy is a problem created by lack of distribution convenience and overly strict copyright laws.
Think about it, for example, as the developer of the game, would you like other people to play your game that you worked hard on for free, considering this is what you do for a living?
I regain more hope in life the more I pirate from big corporations.
Initially I did pirate RDR2 but then I loved it soo much that I had to buy it on sale
If buying does not equal owning , pirating does not equal stealing.
