I wanna listen to a particular song by an artist who has recently turned pretty nazi. As I generally use Spotify I now refuse to listen to his music in there, esp as it generates earnings. I kinda wanna pirate the music somehow…I’m not gonna as I’m not gonna down a song or two and then store it on my phone like it’s the year 2000. But short story is this me justifying piracy to myself.

      Similarly, I have pirated The Sims 4 multiple times. Not because I plan on playing it any time soon, but rather because stealing from EA Games is always morally correct.

      Why so specific…

      Deny all parasites profit and engagement as much as possible where ever possible.

      Ripping off most of the big streaming services is a moral imperative. They are all corrupt and evil in one form or another. Except Dropout. If you pirate Dropout content you’re a dirtbag.
