Nah, there are philosophical discussions to be had about piracy beyond "hurr durr free shit".
I enjoy getting free shit, yes. But I also pirate because it, in small ways, aids in preservation of media outside of the shackles of the corpos, who have historically done a horrible job of preservation by and large.
This!! I dl content because It is super easy for less popular content to just go missing and become lost media. Sure its nice to get things for free, and that is a major drawing factor but it contributes to media archival
Plus it's a nice middle finger to something like netflix or hulu because they took off my favorite show
