Do you find piracy more fun than consuming the pirated content?
I feel like lately I’ve been doing more piracy than actually using the content I’ve been pirating. Curating a library has been so enjoyable lately, I’m not the only one right?
I started as a hobby but slowly weened my immediate friends family off of subscriptions because I like seeing the media actually be consumed and now I can’t ever do maintenance on my server because someone is always using something
Honestly I’m kinda a datahoarder lol so I basically archive things for the sake of preservation. In this aspect I guess this coincides with your point, since many things I pirate I don’t really consume, I just might potentially consume, or find it valuable, so I pirate it and keep it lol
I had so much time yet so few things to watch and play growing up, I think I've become a data hoarder as a "response" to this. Now I love being able to provide friends & family all the content they could ever want.
Right there with ya. I'm a data hoarder first and foremost. I have two goals when it comes to piracy:
A) If I have ever watched, read, listened, played, or otherwise enjoyed a piece of media, I will have it available at all times.
B) Do what I can to preserve said data so 40 years from now when I'm telling kids about some generic super hero comic, or SNES game, or obscure TV miniseries, I can pull that shit up in seconds instead of being the old senile man telling stories.
I got 30TB of space, I got almost every movie, TV show, stand up special, album, video game, comic book, novel, and essential software that I want (and adding more daily), and it's all served up to whatever friend wants it via Plex or whatever-other-means-I-need-depending-on-the-media.
Meanwhile I'm on my 35th watch through of Archer lol
