It’s not that LTT can’t afford piracy, it’s that pirating content that is made using ethical and honest business practices and treats their employees well (at least from what it appears) sends the wrong message. Piracy should only be used when companies give you a reason to avoid using legal methods of accessing their content.
EDIT (8/16/23): Yeah, I've changed my mind given recent events. Sail away!
Piracy should be used whenever you don't want to pay for something
With that attitude I hope somebody steals your TV and computer because they don't want to pay for one. There is a massive difference between pirating from HBO or from LTT. It's the difference between stealing from Walmart or stealing from an old lady's bakery. You're a shit person.
Piracy doesn't deprive anyone of goods.
It does when they can't keep running the service anymore because your broke asses won't support it.

lmao please
