Piracy: ꜱᴀɪʟ ᴛʜᴇ ʜɪɢʜ ꜱᴇᴀꜱ

I sometimes buy a physical book but end up pirating a copy to my ereader so I can read in bed easier and use the dyslexic font. Makes me a bit sad that the books don't get those creases in the spine from being read. Just looks like I own a bunch of books I didn't read

I download comics/manga then buy paper version to support author. I wish every authors would have patreon, PayPal or else so I can give a bit more to author directly as they are getting crushed by editors.

I pirated games and movies I had bought when I was too lazy to fetch the discs.

I’m ashamed to admit that I had never ever bought a movie, a music album, a game or anything similar.

Why not? It is legal in some countries(or all?), to "reclaim" a digital copy if you own the original. Who would jugde you?

i´ve pirated the ebook version of physical books I´ve already owned. i also down music from albums I also owned because I was too lazy to burn the CDs. i also emulated 3ds games so I could played them on my PC while transferring my safe files there to keep playing the game where I was left off

Yes. I do this with switch games, in 10-15 years time those games will still be worth what I paid, if not more. I have some collectors editions and limited runs that are already worth 3-4x what I paid for them

I did this with comics. Buy the singles to keep prestine, and purchase the paperbacks to read.
