Piracy is illegal, so don't do it. Don't get a VPN service (especially not with a kill-switch and a no-logs policy, download a torrenting client, activate said VPN, go to a tormenting site like Piratebay or 1337x, and torrent a piece of media. That highly immoral and illegal and would steal money from the creators (or at least the publishing executives for large budget media).

Corpos have no moral high ground to tell us NOT to pirate when they keep treating their artists like trash, not paying them any royalties and firing them on a whim, while also taking down their work from all platforms, making it impossible to even experience them on a legal way in the first place.

The way I see it, pirates are doing a way better job preserving artwork and media for the future generations than they'll ever do. So yeah: Fly our flag with pride, and don't let those greedy assholes bury art away on their endless dragon hoards.
