The hunt is part of the fun. Like how people will opt to build a PC or a keyboard over a pre-built or pull out vinyl over digital. The steps taken to retrieve and enjoy the media is sometimes a relaxing process.

Biggest evidence of that is Epic will give away games for free, but there will be people who prefer to pay for the Steam version over the free version.
That's the biggest evidence that piracy is a problem of distribution and goes against the idea that those who pirates are against paying for a product.
I pirate on Linux and don't use that device for anything else. And I don't pirate software or games where you are installing stuff.
Piracy is timeless.
I love qbittorent. I love that it's in the Linux repo too.
Decentralization has always been the way for piracy, since many places inevitably go down throughout the years but it being spread out is what keeps everything from being taken down by a single closure. So while not convenient it makes it more resilient.
Start revolution and overthrow dictator and put myself in as dictator. Build up military and gather nukes under guise of protecting country, but it's really to protect me from copyright trolls.
You forgot the most important part. They are pro DRM.... Wtf
Only roms and syncthing to sync saves. I love syncthing.
One of my favorite past times is reading people freaking out about the rising costs, while I sit completely unaffected thanks to the high seas.
Turns out beehaw is more based than world.
Really? I could understand that point from someone not in the piracy community, but doesn't seem any more time consuming than posting on lemmy. Not really starved for time if someone is spending their time on social media.
Mind you I don't pirate software or games, so maybe that's why. Pretty much hardest has been waiting for download to finish.
