it is, but having wierd issues posting permalinks, not sure why
As someone who has done similar things professionally, I am not envious.
Is /c/bestof a thing yet?
Thank you. I hope I didn't come across as aggressive, and I genuinely appreciate your concern for our collective teeth.
my mom had me when i was young, too
hope you had a good rest
You are right, of course, the people who labored to make the things should be compensated if they want to be.
What's at issue is that if you own something you can do as you please with it. Once the electricity has been delivered I can charge batteries with it or power lights or give it to my neighbor for free if we agree to do so. I should be able to buy a piece of software and back it up or give it to my neighbor, or any random person I choose if I own it. I would buy much more media if I could just own it and do as I please with it, but because of DRM and the greed of companies that distribute the media most times you can only rent it. Piracy is in resurgence because it is becoming so difficult and expensive to just pay for the media.
I pay for Netflix, so I think I am entitled to whatever is on the service. If I have a copy of a Netflix show on my hard drive in 4k, am I taking something from Netflix? What about when I watch that show in VLC because I'm on an airplane? What about when I let the man next to me have a copy so he can watch it on his device?
While I have plenty of disposable income these days to spend on media, they simply do not sell the product that I want, and if I did not have the other means of accessing that content I doubt I would pay for Netflix.

I hope the tone of my comments do not come across as negative, I am trying to illustrate my thoughts on the subject, not argue, and I find questions more illuminating than just explanations.

edit: i guess the OP was about software and this rant doesnt really apply
Software-wise I dont pirate that because I try to only use open source software, for mostly the same reasons of disliking DRM and prefering to own things.
When you steal electricity, someone else can't use it, the capacity is consumed. When you won't pay the maid, he can't get his labor and time back to use elsewhere. When you squat in a hotel room, someone else can't use it and it needs to be cleaned afterwards.
When you "buy" a piece of software or a digital copy of media, you're really just renting the license to use it as long as the company that rented it you feels like it.
The difference is that when you make a copy of something digital, the original is still completely intact. The thing is not consumed, you can copy that file 10,000 times on your own machine and see for yourself.
I forgot about reddit premium, 14+ years of reddit use are leaving my brain so quickly.
I do not have a Tesla vehicle but this is flat out wrong. Electric motors are way more efficient per mile than IC motors, and transmission does not make a dent.
Elmo is a middle school bully, and electric vehicles are still problematic in a lot of ways, but your criticisms are not based in reality, and have been debunked as right wing talking points.
those two things seem to have high comorbidity
