    I actually probably provide more support for the things I like because I pirate. Look at it this way - if I had to subscribe to a million services, I just wouldn’t watch a lot of things (because I don’t like spending money month over month for services). Now, I download what I want to watch, and if it’s good I go and tell my friends and family (who aren’t pirates) how good it is and they go and watch it, bringing more eyeballs to their show/movie than they would’ve had otherwise. Pirating isn’t stealing or taking away from creatives imo

      I can’t agree, but I can agree to disagree with you.

      For me as long as you’re not paying for some form of art, you’re not supporting the artist, so you’re stealing.

      But I’d be the first one to download a torrent if something I paid for kind of disappeared like this.

        Haha agree to disagree. I’m paying them through eXpOsuRe (jk)

        Yeah I don’t feel an ounce of remorse about it, but if I did I probably wouldn’t do it!
