[Image Description]: A meme in the style of anti-piracy ads stating the following:

You wouldn’t pirate a game you already paid for to be able to play it again since the company stopped supporting it and no longer sells it

    I guess I mostly agree, though, I disagree that it isn’t acknowledged. From what I see, piracy oftentimes is explicitly precisely just because people want something for free (myself included tee-hee).

    The preservation argument has gotten a lot more prevalent, and I agree that there are a lot of people who use that as a justification for pirating while not actually working to preserve the media they pirate, but I at least see far more people who don’t justify it at all. Not that they have to, IMHO.
