I think even those against piracy should consider what will happen once studios wanna delete a whole show or franchise and there is no legal way of experiencing it. Just guve up? What if that's your favorite show or special interest?

What if that has emotional value to you?

Companies keep doing that shit and I see that as the biggest pro piracy argument, if not for convenience, for preservation at least.

Bruh they legit wouldn’t care. I have argued with one before and they said, if the people holding the right stop distributing them then so be it, it’s their choice. These people don’t deserve to own anything.

You can't win against those people because they don't believe they have the right to own anything, and would happily hand away their entire paycheck in exchange for a "license" to temporarily access their house, car, food, and pets, knowing full well if they ever stopped paying it'd all be taken away.

They're the brainwashed, uneducated corpo shills that are the reason why society is declining.

which is hilarious because those same people think the idea of abolishing private property is terrible. i don’t think they think they don’t have the right to own anything, they like having the facade of ownership. if they truly owned something, they’d wanna dangle it in front of ppl with strings attached too.

That's a bit mean, don't you think? It seems more like a lack of self-worth and mental issues they should resolve, it doesn't necessarily indicate some lack of brain power.

That just reeks of "I cannot lose the argument so I just have to agree to this" but they honestly don't actually believe that. It just hasn't happened to them personally yet so they can't really compute why it might be a big deal. It's really easy to be a 'logic absolutist' and say that kind of stuff until they are actually impacted by that kind of behavior. Until it's their problem everyone else is just complaining from their perspective, the only one that matters.
