As a man... that sounds about right lol. I was watching a show and then realised if I wanted the later seasons I'd have to subscribe to a different service and I took that personally and got annoyed and now I just pirate stuff. No one tells this manly feller what to do.

It sucks that you have to deal with misogyny on-line like that.

I would say risk taking isnt always bad and not always illogical. But yeah, as a man I know what you mean when you talk about testosterone and risk taking.

I imagine it used to have quite a lot of benefits back when we were still sleeping in caves, shure you might die when facing a mammoth, but you could also feed the whole tribe for weeks when you succeed.

I don't know where that hatred comes from, but I can only assume it's because those guys couldn't find good ladies to be with. They probably got rejected a lot and now they don't like wimen at all. But I don't know for sure.

I think its simply, at least for a while, the tech space was male dominated. And depending on the type of piracy, it requires an amount of tech skills

Also, there's so much "free" content that a lot of young ones don't even bother or care about learning about piracy and how to do it

This as well. I will say even the time where i would normally spend watching shows on stuff like dailymotion primewire etc i know most just watch youtube channels

As a woman into tech I’ll chime in. We seem to have a mild case of ignorant as shit. My friends are all completely blind to tech and piracy. Now I don’t blame them because they’ve been taught by capitalist culture to care about pointless things since birth, but god does it hurt sometimes and make me want to claw my eyes out. Patience and education will solve the gap.

What is even more painful is seeing friends glued to TikTok on their phones all day when they have STEM degrees. I didn't grow up in a typical household, so I have a hard time relating to other women, but I don't get it either. Do your friends with kids seem to be this way more than those without?

Indeed. Piracy is good because it is preservation

I would think that in general it comes down to understanding what "ownership" is and that it has been taken from us, replaced with "licensing"

Your mistake is thinking that the average person

Knows that this is happening/has happened, since it's rarely clearly or prominently stated,
Understands what it means, since it doesn't often affect them,
And in the uncommon scenario where both 1 and 2 are met: actually cares at all.

It's wild, because it used to be that you bought a movie and it didn't matter that the rights ran out you could still watch your fucking movie in your own home.

I understand the concern and I'm sure it does happen, but I have literally never heard this complaint from a single person that I actually know. What movies/services has this actually happened to?

No argument against anything you said related to copyright laws, just to be clear.
