Your fake concern an excuse for busy-bodying, which is a problem.
- moffkalast 4y agoI mean, what's wrong with data hoarding? People always say you should have backups, but when you make some proper ones it's suddenly "hoarding" and "a problem" smh.
- dubswithus 4y agoWho is claiming that you must have backups of pirated content?
- moffkalast 4y agoPeople. It's written right there.
- dubswithus 4y agoHow is it that? OP is the one that shared. No one is forcing him to post here.
- sophacles 4y agoDid OP ask if it was a problem? Did OP state it was a problem? Not that I see - AFAICT the only people declaring it a problem are the busybodies latching on to OP spending the same amount on this hobby as they would dining out at a decent restaurant once a month.
- Supermancho 4y ago> Did OP state it was a problem? The title ascribes it to "piracy" costs, which is incorrect. GL with whatever.
- sophacles 4y agoThe title is > Tell HN: I probably spend more on piracy than if I just paid for content That doesn't say it's a problem. It's a statement of fact. You are projecting a problem onto it. I pay more for dinner out than I would if signed up for HelloFresh to be delivered to my house. What if I like eating out? What if neither cost has any meaningful impact on my bottom line? Is that a problem too?
