    I don’t know why some people sugar coat it.

    I’d pirate anyway because I don’t wanna spend money, and so would a lot of people who instead choose to hide behind excuses.

      I have seen these big long winded speeches about how immoral it is to sell copyrighted material and how some dumb shit like spiderman should fall under the ‘free sharing of ideas to better humanity’ and blah blah blah.

      Bro. We are thieves. We are stealing because its easy and the products cost too much.

      It also depends on who’s behind the product. Good indie game with one or a few developers - never. Adobe - I consider it a moral obligation.

        lol nope. you are a thief. which is fine. nobody is getting hurt. but there is no moral oblation to steal. you don’t want to pay for a product and stealing it is easy to get away with it so you do it. simple as that.
