Well, my friend, he’s kinda poor he can’t afford some books and some streaming services, so he pirates. He pirate books, audiobook and videos and other stuff. Sometimes he buys books he likes a lot out of loyalty to the author (yeah, I don’t understand it either), he likes to read physical books, but yeah, if he hates the author or just wants to skim through it, he will download the book.
He usually doesn’t like to pirate from small companies or professors who are trying to make a living by selling books, but from millionaires & plenty of mega corps which already have loads of money, he feels like it’s the right move to pirate
Also, have you ever noticed that you have felt that the value of a product has decreased just because you didn’t pay for it, thus you are less interested to read it? i.e., had you paid for the book, you would have more likely read that book.
He says he will buy stuff when his time is more valuable than money, let’s all hope that day is soon.
What are your piracy habits?

Hopefully Spotify is not the platform you’re talking about. I don’t use them because they do not pay the artists. Bandcamp is the spot for music… It’s really the only place I get music anymore.

I love band camp. I love having FLAC downloads
It makes me so mad that company’s edit or change original movies or books for politcal or because it hurts somebody’s feelings. The movie/book was written or produced in a time period that was very different and its ugly to try to change history. If you don’t teach about the ugly things in history they are doomed to repeat themselfs
I’ll add to that.
Shit is geo-locked to certain countries and I can’t access it. 🏴☠️ Raise it.
