meh, it's those of us that are entering into our 50's that drove piracy in the early '90s and '00s. Hell, we were copying floppies in the 80s.

You youngins don't know how lucky you are, we had to push our bits up hill in both directions, in bare feet and the rain

My father used to gift me a box of floppies with pirated games on them on Christmas, the next day ritual was checking each of them, 'cause half of them were duds. Still loved it, and I had no concept of piracy or it being wrong.
