Most of the time when people say they have an unpopular opinion, it turns out it’s actually pretty popular.

Do you have some that’s really unpopular and most likely will get you downvoted?

    Lol, the copium. If you pirate digital goods, you are stealing. Just own it. It’s not the same as physically robbing a store, but it’s still theft. We don’t have to feel bad for the mega corp making less money, but I also don’t have to buy your bullshit excuse for doing it

      Lol, way to address my points. It’s “theft” even though nothing is lost, taken, or destroyed by anyone…Sure…

      I can imagine you calling the police frantically outside of a stadium reporting a “mass robbery in progress” because dozens of random people walking by are hearing the copyrighted music without paying for it haha!

      Intellectual property is like a unicorn, it’s imaginary and mythical. You can’t poach a unicorn, and you can’t steal IP, it’s just that simple.
