Hi guys, first of all, I fully support Piracy. But Im writing a piece on my blog about what I might considere as "Ethical Piracy" and I would like to hear your concepts of it.

Basically my line is if I have the capacity of paying for something and is more convinient that pirating, ill pay. It happens to me a lot when I wanna watch a movie with my boyfriend. I like original audio, but he likes dub, so instead of scrapping through the web looking for a dub, I just select the language on the streaming platform. That is convinient to me.

In what situations do you think is not OK to pirate something? And where is 100 justified and everybody should sail the seas instead?

I would like to hear you.

Truly agree, my steam games are mostly indie publisher. Ironically, the games from indie publisher tends to be less buggy then well know 3A titles publisher.

I'm always having bad experience playing those 3A title games (except GoW as I don't see any major bugs). Thus I do not want to support those famous publisher.
