I have a question.
I never pay for Netflix, prime or whatever. Only watch movies on yts for example.
There is no reason for me to "pay for floatplane" because I don't have that kind of money coming from a third world country with a much less purchasing power to US$
The end result is simply, if I am pirating some content, I wouldn't otherwise pay them because I don't have the means.
The "lost sale" argument doesn't hold when I have to go through dozen hoops.
So, what does "ethics" have to do with this? Let's talk about floatplane only.
The pirater who leaks the content paid for it once and suppose I acquire it, why does it matter have I paid for it or not? Its not a case of bread from a bakery shop that they can't sell so what gives?
Why should I have ethical issues with pirating it?
You shouldn’t. For one thing, Puzzle_Sluts_4Ever made some valid points, also my point wasn’t that you shouldn’t at all, just that I would have made an effort to get it legally. Normally when I disagree with what someone is trying to do but can help, I tell them why I think they shouldn’t but also try to help, but in this case I didn’t have any suggestions.
