What do you specialize in pirating? - eviltoast

What is your primary media that you pirate?

Mine has always been music. I don’t really download a lot of it as much anymore. But I am registered to a dirt cheap MP3 site where I pay $1.22 for an entire album and then download it.

Games, I used to have pirated but I’ve got so damn many that it defeats the purpose. I’ve downloaded hundreds of ROMs of old games and gotten some DRM-free stuff from DDL. I’m set for life on games.

Movies, I don’t pirate. I’ve built a steady collection just by thrifting alone for dirt cheap movies, not even burned copies.

Books, I mean if I really had the ambition to, I’d pirate. But I honestly prefer having the books in my hand and I can get them for cheap.

Shows, same as movies. I thrift a lot and that neutralizes the need for me to pirate.

Software, yeah I still occasionally will pirate if there’s a program I’m not going to sink some $$$ digits for or some poor sap out there wanting to charge $70 for a “lifetime license” for a software of a tool I’d need desperately for something I want done and I’m not gonna wait a lifetime for to finally afford without buyer’s remorse.

So, music and software is all I’m after because I love music above all other media.

    Why pay for anything when everything is available for free?
    Why bother pirating when you have enough money to waste on paying for media?

    Either pirate everything or don’t pirate at all, there are no morals or ethics involved
