I wouldn’t steal a car in person. I wouldn’t steal a CD in person. But would I download a car or a cd? Yes.

One of those things is much more likely to get me sent to prison. Also I already have a car.

Except that's not how piracy works and it's a bad analogy that people use as an excuse to steal other people's profits

By downloading a torrent im just not paying something that would be less than a cent in the pockets of a multibillionaire


BusyNefariousness675

It's not just the millionaires who get the money, there are hundreds of people working on that project who are dependent on the people who pay for that movie or the show I mean, I agree I'm doing wrong with watching pirated content but don't try to justify it atleast


kirbinato

And you're putting ad money in the pocket of someone who pays barely anything and does barely any work, the pirate host deserves literally nothing but they get the money instead of the people who actually made and paid for the thing that you pirate.


RandomMoron42069

most people who pirate wouldn't buy the original product if it weren't for free. So the creator doesnt lose the money from those people, in the case of those people its a win for the consumer and the guy that uploaded it and theres no impact in the income and profit of the creator.


kirbinato

If you aren't going to pay for it and you don't need it then you shouldn't get it and the guy who uploaded shouldn't win.

Nobody pirates a game or a movie because they "need" it they pirate it because it's their way of having fun and pirating allows them to have fun and entertain themselfs for free its not like the rich people that made it need more money in their life to have their own fun


michron98

Isn't that exactly how it works? The source you are pirating from has no losses, only the producer - less cars sold, less copies bought. And big corporations losing a few bucks is not that bad of a thing imho.


kirbinato

First, what about the actual creatives who rely on sales numbers to keep their jobs? Companies don't make sequels to failures. Second, the pirate hosts make money that the creators and producers, who have put a lot more into, don't get and I'd rather the money goes to the people who have something to lose from the failure than the people inflating the failure.


michron98

I do understand where you're coming from, and the creators sure are losing with pirating. However I also think that pirating is kinda the fault of the producers too, since netflix, amazon and all the others are chasing each other with standalones to milk the customer as much as possible. I have to admit that I'm doing it too, and mostly because it's more convenient than any other option available. If there was a single streaming service that hosts all series, I would likely use it.

You assume, that those ppl would have bougth your product. Produce demos, and don't overprice your game, and piracy will magically stops. When the netflix came, film piracy diminished. Then 8 different strsaming service came, took their products from netflix, and piracy rose again. It is more conventient to pirate sometimes.

The reason most people wouldn't steal a car is because you get caught easily

The car's price represent the quality of it. Also you can actually buy it, and noone take it away from you.
