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.
Bullshit. What happens if everyone steals it? Is that cool for the creator? I’m sure they won’t feel like anything was stolen from them since you can’t physically hold it
I have a dog named zeety, his eyes are small and beady.
I just wrote that original poem. I’m charging $1,000 for anybody who wants to read it. You’ve read it now, so you’d better pay up. Don’t you dare rob me of my right to that $1,000!
I accept crypto payments, you can pay in installments of $100 per month if you need. I’ll be expecting you to pay up immediately. You’re not a hypocrite, are you?
Let’s see how serious you are about the things you claim to believe. That poem is my intellectual property according to you, and you are a thief stealing it from me if you don’t pay what I demand for it.
Let’s make this interesting, you pay me $1,000 for that poem, I will post screenshots verifying that I donated every dollar to various open source projects, 100% dead serious, I won’t keep a single cent of it.
Screw it, if you just pay $100 for that poem, I’ll donate 100% of it to various open source projects.
Your move.
Lol, no. I’m not paying for that poem. You just published it on a public forum. Besides, I don’t want it. I’m not going to copy it or distribute it. If I want what you made and you put a price on it, I either pay for it or go do something else. Your example doesn’t make any sense and I’m not going to sit here and explain it to you any further.
I’ll leave it here. IP doesn’t exist. If it’s digital it should be free. Follow that to its logical end and maybe we arrive at the same reality.
Well you just stole that from me, at least from your worldview, if I were you, I would be calling the cops right about now.
The fact that you think that’s crazy proves my point.
I’m done arguing this, it’s obvious you either don’t understand how illogical your position is, or you don’t care.
