      We do it in a non-commercial nature. Meta does it in the hope of building a market, estasblishing paywalls and eventually turning a profit - all the while never paying the original creators.

      This is exactly what they (and Google and many others) do with personal user data. We manufacture the data, they collect it without due consideration (payment) and use it to profit so much that they’ve become some of the wealthiest businesses in the world. They’ve robbed us via deceptive fine print, why wouldn’t they think they can get away with this also?

          It’s not piracy if no one can come after you matee. You wouldn’t call the ships of the queen Pirates, would you?

          Nah man, although I did buy some of my first CDs that were rips with home printed covers from this girl who was the daughter of my dad’s lawyer friend. Nowadays though I think paying for piracy is for chumps - even if I do admit that people with hacked Firesticks get better access to live sports with their dodgy subscriptions.
