    Anything corporate produced, hell ya. The creators have already been paid out and the ones getting royalties don’t need it to survive. For independent creators that depend on their work to sustain them, then it becomes an a gray issue.

      If you cant afford something it doesn’t matter because the creators weren’t going to get money from you either way.

      Once you can afford it, really enjoyed it, deeply respect the creators, you’ll want to own it legit.

      Back when i was in college paying for digital goods was a big nope but nowadays i am the proud legal owner(user?) of much that same content.

      It does become a gray issue. But usually they’re greedy fucks too, so I don’t care about them.
