A new age of piracy is ahead of us. When they come crying about "revenue", these days will be remembered.

Let's not call it piracy, please, it makes us sound like thieves.

It's resistance against mass surveillance and a State that's grown cancerous. It's any citizen's duty, really.

It is dirtier to pay for big tech services than it is to infringe copyright.

Ironically, the big AI companies have scaled copyright infringement and appear to be profiting from it. So, pretty much: "meat's back on the menu boys".

It is piracy; It is theft, but even capital punishment has a threshold of justification, let alone theft.

Piracy is justified action in response to intrusive, mass, and overreaching surveillance by the unholy matrimony of State and Corporate.

What do you mean?

As the age verification and the dodgy businesses around them become more widespread, people will find the friction and risk of paying for "legitimate" access on par with pirating, and to boot, the later doesn't cost money.

Remember, people use these services largely for convince more than qualms with paying for multinationals. So once they create friction, off we go to the bays again in large masses.

Sites like TPB don't try to verify your age.

TPB is the worst piracy site now by the way. It's full of fake uploads should never be used. There are many others with better curation.

I hear that often but I have yet to find any issues with it.

Maybe I’m too niche or not niche enough to run into issues. I also never download software from any site like this so maybe that’s it.

Even so, have a look around, there are better sites.
