You don't get it... Your logic is flawed. By pirating, you support the current business practices. You encourage them to do more of it. Piracy is the worst kind of protest.
Let me explain: When everyone who disagrees with how big tech make profits leaves to do piracy, then the only people who are left paying are the people that suppport big-tech or don't care. Consequently the exact thing you're 'protesting' against becomes the most profitable and only way to make money. Guess where that leads the industry...
The only way of protest is with your money. Spend it on good alternatives so they become the next profitable thing.
"You don't give me exactly what I want, so now I have the moral right to do whatever I want for as long as I please and I even do something good for humanity in the process". Real altruism that is... In reality, this is only a justification to get shit for free. Just admit it and say it as it actually is. Also, stop spamming your agenda all over every thread.
