Would love say, if I had enough control over my tablet to not tell youtube when my screen was turned off, so they can't force me to buy youtube red for "background listening" the free lectures their users kindly upload for them, like they've recently started doing. Is not reporting that my screen is turned off considered pirating? I for one am shocked that their monopoly position has resulted in such behavior.
