I hate the way film and music pirates gatekeep everything. There are private trackers for games and software but they don't try to keep any content exclusive, you get faster downloads without random bad quality uploads and malware cluttering the site in exchange for keeping a good ratio.

Surprise, piracy isn't activism, it's just people wanting free stuff or even paying some discounted rate for it

		That is obviously false: <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Criticism_of_copyright> You could just as well say that political protest is not a thing, that it’s just vandals looking for reasons to break stuff.

Yeah it’s rough not to be able to get whatever you want without paying anyone or experiencing any downsides
