I pirate everything. I started more than 35 years ago when I didn’t have any other option because of my location, so it became the norm. Later, I didn’t have much money and I didn’t want to spend it on software and games. Later I just stuck with it. I never delved into ethics of it - it seems a very tedious task to do.
I did buy some stuff here and there. But even today, id pirate games for sure, in not going to dish out 50, if I don’t even know if I’ll like it.
Interestingly, never in my life I had issues with viruses or malware. Sure I got some, but the basic antivirus software delt with it and I had no consequences.
