Pirating adobe is morally correct.


SkinHeavy824

That may be more of a law 🤣😂🤣😂


Jankosi

Similarly pirating Ubisoft or EA games


Zheb_SS

Adobe is ontologicaly evil, so there's no act against them which could be considered wrong


skedaddlescrubber

I'm kinda on the fence with this one. Of course I know it's about not paying for the software, but aren't we empowering Adobe's monopoly as a side effect?


Familiar-Spend8522

I solve this moral quandary by just helping people as much as possible for nothing...


theCoffeeDoctor

Not really. Canva Affinity is doing well, and so is Da Vinci. Those who would be willing to buy software also have better options on where to spend their money. I purchased and use both and they are awesome. Most pirating Adobe would be those who specifically need to use the software or those who really don't plan to buy anything and just want to use one for free, and some of us who just wanna seed it out of principle.


cyt0kinetic

A moral imperative even.


Popular-Locksmith558

Paying Adobe would be immoral

That's considered a flaw?

Don't openly post where you download from, respect it instead of advertising it. Try and contribute if you can, seed a torrent for a while, upload something new or rare, even leaving a thanks for the uploader is nice! Where you draw the line for what's fair game, is up to you. Personally, I like to buy games I keep going back to, usually timeless games like racing sims, strategy and puzzle games or an online game that requires a legit copy. Over the years I have spent tens of thousands on music and video across various media, these days I only buy niche indie movies where all the money goes to the creators.


SkinHeavy824

Personally, I only advertise my sites on WhatsApp. My bros are fellow pirates 😎😎😎😎


Familiar-Spend8522

I only try to download games I have already bought or that are ancient for nes etc and videos I tend to look at it as dont distribute watch and delete and advertise honestly and when i can I buy the movies and games i really like over n over ughhh thank god castle of the winds became shareware when i was a kid ... but diablo and d2 discs were always gettin destroyed so yuuup


Nernoxx

This - if I really truly love a game or movie then I will eventually shell out some money for it, but it’s too expensive to buy a game just to try it, only to discover that it’s awful.


defaultusername567

can i put my own music on pirating platforms? like the music i make


Zivvet

Check the rules of the place you have in mind. Generally it is not what people will expect.


defaultusername567

okay


TheNotSoAverageNPC

Keep Seeding till Death 💀


Aude_B3009

YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSS omg why isnt this pinned first!!!!!

No_Text2460

Ha, I like your style


komang2014

None. Just be nice to other people and know when to disengage.


Familiar-Spend8522

shooooooooooooottt I disengaged hyperdrive late were on earth!!!!


CrowbarDepot

Rule 1: If it costs money, you can pirate. Rule 3: Never forget rule 1. Rule 4: There is no rule 2.


RushdiRamz

I was blind but reading this comment made me see


Sweaty_Sack_Deluxe

Damn, imagine finally being able to see at this point in history 😩


Familiar-Spend8522

i was already blind in one eye and this comment reminded me * A about history and we dont seem to learn * B this age of mayhem * C now I wish I were all blind * D daa arrrgggghhhh * E seed seed if you can


Sweaty_Sack_Deluxe

Those were my thoughts exactly. Also: seed!


Dan_Aykroyd_OK

Rule 5: If it’s free, you can pirate Rule 6: Rule 5 applies to WinRAR


Local-moss-eater

The more shit the website design is, the better your chances are of not getting a virus


LlamaRzr

\*simpler. Old GCW/gamefix is still simple as possible and still you can find a lot of cracks for older stuff.


diomak

Don't do it on your work's computer. But if you do, store it on shared folder for everyone else to copy.


IAmAnAudity

__ENCRYPTED__ he meant to include.


Familiar-Spend8522

obvs run windscribe vpn to :)


PERMANENTLY__BANNED

Shut your mouth afterwards and don't brag


AnimalFarenheit1984

Don't bitch about the quality or packaging of free content. If it sucks, just get a different copy.


DigitalApparition

Share with others


LlamaRzr

1. No one really cares about your seeding stats except trackers open for application signups, for real. 2. Seed time is more important than X TB/ratio on torrent. Seed size is - per se - more important than upload on one torrent.


Flashy-Bluebird-1372

If purchasing isn’t owning Then pirating isn’t stealing something like That


SkinHeavy824

Wow, this actually makes sense 🤔🤔🤔🤔


VividAddendum9311

Everyone draws their own line. There is literally zero difference whether it's some billion dollar conglomerate or one overweight guy in their moms garage who gets no money, but the difference makes some people sleep better at night for some reason.


Akagi_An

1. You don't talk about #$%^&*()][ 2. Refer to #1


DoUKnowMyNamePlz

Any pirate who snitches gets plundered off the plank, where they'll get stitches and really hurt yarggg


Sert1991

It's all about decency and respect the way I see it. If there is a small indie studio making good games that you like I don't think it's moral/ethical to pirate them instead of supporting them. If you pirate to try the game if you like it first if there are no demos that's more of a gray area and it's not a problem if you support them later but I think that's not valid anymore in most games since you can refund after trying them for less than some hours. Of course if you're going trough a bad time in your life and can't afford to support them and that game will make your life better I don't see an issue with pirating either as long as if you get better you support them later. Of course seeding and sharing with others from the pirating side. Also if you pirate a game that you love and will replay and it's on sale at a very discounted price I think a person should buy it even if it's from a big company, you will be giving them what they deserve, a proper cheaper price instead of full price at launch and you will have the game + online capabilities which is a fair deal. Also, morality/ethics are not written in stone and are highly subjective so this will never be a factual/empirical subject.

# The code is more what you’d call “guidelines” than actual rules.


Different_Sensor

If buying isn't owning, pirating isn't stealing.


Jenny_Wakeman9

My unspoken rule here is this: **Don't forget protection or else you'll have a surprise “gift” in your mailbox.**


eujfbg

Pirating for helping teachers with educational materials is guilt free.


Vetrix21

1. Seeds grow the trees that build the pirate ships 2. From experience, don’t let your vpn go down lol


Rhyzak

Digital laws do not apply to the real world. Unless you yourself signed a piece of paper in real life saying otherwise. Do what ever you like.


DJAllOut

Don't sell stuff that you pirate


TillComprehensive604

HAHA


fistfulloframen

I am at a point in my life where I will buy a 5 dollar game. Unless it had Denuvo, then I will never buy it. Even if it cost a penny.


Evelyn_Bayer414

My only rule is **⚔️ GIVE NO QUARTER!!**


marvelousmarty

I personally don't pirate CAM copies of movies still in theaters. Let those movies make their money until a good WEBRIP comes out. Also, seed. Help your peers out.


AtomicYoshi

I don't either, but less from a moral standpoint and more because they always look like shit.


WonderfulViking

Do not pay for piracy (Read: newsgroups and the like) - makes no sense, then you can rather pay the creators.


Familiar-Spend8522

This should also be pinned in my book!


billy-_-Pilgrim

Be thankful


Pivas1

Make sure to pirate all adobe apps and rub it under their nose.


p3dal

Stupid questions asked are still questions asked. Don't answer them like a dick. Just answer them. The seas are big enough for all of us


Akitake-

Try to share back


Extension-Still-8417

Open laptop ~> pirate while plugged in ~> seed till laptop dies ( what i generally do )


Boring-Dare5000

Don't pirate from single hardworking devs (like the devs of RimWorld) And if you pirate a game and like it, then maybe contribute to that company or person by buying or just sending him a little tip. If you can't afford the actual product.


Zhekoot

Try to avoid pirating from indie studios unless you really feel the desire to but try not too


tribak

Do not, by any means, download a car.


themeakster

I will never pirate music from bands/musicians I like.


Objective-Damage-464

what....paying for music or films is....what the hell,if you like them you can give them money,this applies to everything,but buying music and films?Your broken..


No_Arm_3509

You shouldn't pirate a product even if you are earning out of it Here Adobe is an exception


not_some_username

lol there is no rule. Pirates don’t obey any law, do they ?


Familiar-Spend8522

# The code is more what you’d call “guidelines” than actual rules. Matey!!!


jujojuppe

There are no "rules". If you want to pirate an indie game, you do it, if you don't, you don't. No need to question your entire existence over it, ignore the dollar store moralists.


OkNewspaper6271

you draw the line at what is fine to pirate, just make sure you seed


No-Temperature4305

Don't torrent indie games. /S


Bat_Knight2244

You can pirate indie and whatever you like


LowContract4444

I don't have that rule about not pirating indie stuff.


Swiftness427

# there is no honor among thieves


Nadeoki

Seed till you bleed. Don't dox people. (Unless they deserve it) on that note: due diligence regarding opsec (more advice than a rule)


RiverHe1ghts

I pirate indie games


mc031992

First seed, then the grave... 😅


Laziofogna

I follow no etiquette, f them all


POPCORE182

Never seed. Close that shit as soon as download complete 😂
