Anyone pirating content was never going to pay for it in the first place, so you haven't really lost anything. If anything, having your shit pirated gives you more exposure, so I'd say it's a net positive overall.
- Taylor_OD 6y agoThat's not really true. I pirated when I was young and couldn't afford things and later when I could afford things I'd purchase from those same creators. Al la the first hit is free.
- senko 6y agoYou agree with the parent. When you were young, you wouldn't have bought it even if you didn't pirate it. However, since you pirated it, you felt happy (or even morally obliged) to purchase from same creators, later, when you had the means. Ie. in that case, the piracy increased exposure and indirectly increased sales.
