Links between piracy and organized crime or malware, appear to be of less concern.

You guys are saving money?
It saves a lot of money for each subscription service you can skip.
I only had to buy a VPN and a cheap mini PC as a server. And then a 1tb SSD. Then I needed to buy another 2tb. And then I had to run Ethernet upstairs for it since the WiFi card couldn't keep up. Then I had to upgrade the router to support the new gigabit cabling...
Eh, well, at least I get to keep something out of it.

If you only leech and you're not a hoarder, it really doesn't require much. For most people there's not really any need to store every single piece of media they've ever consumed or hope to consume...some day...maybe. Or setup tools to automate their uncontrollable hoarding.

People are being exploited and screwed over left and right. Piracy is not even a blip on the radar.
If society was built on moral rules and honest behavior, then maybe people should feel bad about pirating. But this society? Lols.
I struggle to even see the difference from slavery on most days.
When companies treat you as a criminal even when you do try to do everything their way, it really becomes hard to care.
The way many companies act, you'd think they believe that you have to be a sucker to buy/use their own products.
Even when honest, I can approve the piracy in those days, as companies exploit everything, it acceptable for me.
That figure’s come down significantly since the age of vikings though
"Saving money by" vs "making money by"
Well, since I don't own what I buy, I don't see how pirating is anything other than getting something from a cheaper distributor.
After all, how can I steal something that can't be owned?

Those are rookie numbers, you've got to pump those up.
well, before that and for generations, banks printing money was an acceptable way of governments to make rich people richer and all others poorer, so i can fully accept that stealing was learned from govs and the richies there. change how "the successfull" accomplish their successes and you can teach the kids how to live without stealing, keep abuse by gov and richies as is and all the theft is done exactly as ordered by govs and richies, no matter the age.
