Fuck the entertainment world. As if they're not rich as Croesus.

And if they want to whine that selection would go down and prices up? Fuck 'em. There's more media than a human can reasonably intake, no matter one's likes.

And if they hike the price? Well, I'm already stealing their shit due to pricing. Only thing I pay for is Spotify. Cheap enough, convenient enough, all that. Jack the price. Test me.

Got Amazon Prime for the shipping, but I still steal the shit they have on there. I want that data on my drives, not theirs.

Plus most of everything produced is garbage, anyway.
