If we were selfish, we wouldn’t be sharing our files in the first place, and the system would fall apart.
It’s the fact that we aren’t selfish that filesharing works at all.
Piracy is. Filesharing isn’t.
When you steal books from a library, you’re preventing others from accessing those books. When you download a digital copy of a book, you aren’t.
Same thing with money. If you stole my money, I’d be upset, but I wouldn’t be upset if I had infinite money.
Why should I?
It was a cost-cutting measure to save money on tapes by reusing the old ones.
Lots of people come have a choice in who their ISP is. I don’t. For my area, there’s one provider. If I want to change that, I have to move.
Sounds like the players are boned.
Define “anonymous”. I use Soulseek, but you need an account for that.

At least, I hope not. If you seriously think that mail order should be illegal, we’re gonna have words.
I think that funding creators is great if you have the money and the inclination. I just don’t think that it makes you an asshole if you don’t.
There are creators whom I fund because they give me exclusive extra content on their Patreons or sometimes if I just think that their work is important enough and I want to see it continue. If I decide that I need that money for something else, that’s up to me.
