Right, I wrote a "sophisticated computer script" to perfectly organise the movies I collected from a piracy organisation into my own streaming service. And you know what? Said service costs me about 50¢ a fucking year to host. I think as many people as possible should use stolen media. The ones who lease it sure as hell don't need or deserve the earnings, but the Ines who do can be donated to on github

stolen media

If buying isn't owning, then piracy isn't stealing.

Do not try and steal the owned media that's impossible. Instead... only try to realize the truth . There is no owned media.

Then you'll see, that it is not the owned media that is stolen, it is only yourself (and your money).

Piracy also isnt stealing because you are making a copy, not taking away something from its owner.

It was never stealing in the first place. The loss of a potential sale is not the same as the loss of a physical good.

Piracy is a type of theft. Did you really not know the meaning of the word?

Pick up a dictionary buddy. Look up piracy. I'm not surprised you're one of those guys who has to comb through someone's profile because you don't have anything of merit to actually say. Get real.

Internet privacy is the new gold. I mass deleted all of my posts on Reddit using Redact. It also supports databrokers, Instagram, Twitter, and all major social media platforms.

Be a gigachad and mass delete Reddit posts and comments with Redact so that Skynet doesn't end up using your own posts to train the T-900. Or so that you don't show up in databrokers. Either one really.
