    You’re a fool if you think businesses haven’t stolen anything.

    This is just whataboutism. Two wrongs don’t make it right. The only reason stuff like streaming services, movies and tv series still exists is because there are people paying for them. Piracy is just freeriding. We let others do the dirty work and then demand our share that we don’t deserve. These things are not binary. It’s not either - or. It’s still wrong to steal from your neighbour even if they’re an asshole.

    If you don’t like Netflix then stop using it and subscribe to their competitor. If you want it both ways then atleast be honest about it.

    Also, no one is demanding exponential growth. Do you even know what that means?
