Absolutely nothing gets through

for legal reasons, I don’t pirate anything… but a friend told me that piracy is more convenient, and that it has more benefits (like, retain ‘ownership’ of content without annoying DRM)

train of thought (legal): what streaming service do I need to subscribe to to watch this? okay lemme go grab my wallet and sign up for an account

train of thought (piracy): click download

if companies don’t want you to pirate their media, they should make it more convenient and flexible to purchase legally. adding DRM and making things subscription-only will push more people towards piracy.

I tried explaining it in simple terms to a few non-tech-savvy friends and they said it sounded “too complicated.” and they’d rather just deal with the ads than mess around with it.
