Piracy had never been lost sales. Just markets you choose to ignore or refuse to serve. Just because someone pirates something doesn't mean they could or would have bought it otherwise.

Why would anyone pay these parasites money...

Media is all regime propaganda, why would anyone pay a penny on that

Music is spotty but you can support artists directly where needed. Fuck middle man and rights hodler companies. Parasites

Games are just shit money grabs mostly, buy it on sale if you feel like supporting a good Dev otherwise Yarr or grey market keys
