Hi guys, first of all, I fully support Piracy. But Im writing a piece on my blog about what I might considere as "Ethical Piracy" and I would like to hear your concepts of it.

Basically my line is if I have the capacity of paying for something and is more convinient that pirating, ill pay. It happens to me a lot when I wanna watch a movie with my boyfriend. I like original audio, but he likes dub, so instead of scrapping through the web looking for a dub, I just select the language on the streaming platform. That is convinient to me.

In what situations do you think is not OK to pirate something? And where is 100 justified and everybody should sail the seas instead?

I would like to hear you.

Nope...

Welcome to European capitalism guised as a social democratic monarchy... (The Netherlands)

It costs 54 euro per year... Not much, but amazon prime here costs 3 euro a month.

Sadly bit is, as a new immigrant, I'd really love to have free and easy access to local literature... But between the relatively high cost, and the library being open 3 hours a day (and closed on Sundays)... It's just a little tricky to actually make it work.
