Is it piracy tho?

Piracy? Are we seriously still calling it that, like it’s some childish act of rebellion or a major crime? I’ll make it simple: what other choice do they leave us? The big corporations sit in their glass towers, hoarding more money than any human could spend in ten lifetimes, and they still have the audacity to block movies, shows, and games just because the numbers don’t add up for them. It’s not about art; it’s about greed. And what do they offer us, the everyday people? Streaming services that raise their prices every six months, force you to pay extra so the picture doesn’t look like a VHS from the '90s, and even have the nerve to include ads. Ads on a paid service! Is this a joke or a dystopia disguised as progress?

Even their 4K streaming is shit. I download a Blu-ray rip, and I can see every damn detail in a movie. Every shadow, every expression, every single spark of the director’s creativity, which gets completely lost in those compressed, mediocre streams they call ‘high definition.’

And video games? That’s a whole other story. You fall in love with a game, its story, its mechanics, and one day it’s gone. Pulled from the market because, of course, they don’t want you enjoying their masterpiece from the past when they can force you to buy the new trash they released this year. Games full of microtransactions and endless patches. What happened to playing for the joy of it, for the experience, for connecting with something bigger than yourself? Why do I have to lose something I loved just because it’s no longer profitable for them?

Access to art, to culture, to entertainment without ridiculous barriers. If that makes me a criminal, so be it.

And now, if you’ll excuse me, I have several torrents to check.

Ps: Honestly I don't care if it's called piracy, it was just a theatrical way to adress the issue. Have a good day and thank you all for seeding.
