    But it’s not loot. By leaning in the piracy angle you are just eating corporate propaganda.

    You are not hurting anybody so there’s nothing to justify. Sharing is caring.

      I completely agree. However posts of a screenshot of some shitty comment very much screams cope. That’s what I say enjoy ya loot, cause the reasons don’t matter.

        Loot is stolen goods. Why are you calling it loot?

        Nobody steals stuff here.

          Loot is just an expression being used to stick with the pirate theme. I don’t get why you are reading so far into it. We call it piracy, when we are not pirates in the traditional sense, same for the word loot.

            its a stupid expression that is convincing people that they are criminal somehow.

            sharing is not a crime, by using these corporate terms you are doing a disservice to the movement.

              So why do we call ourselves pirates? Why do we call it piracy?

              I’m all for fuck corpos and freedom of sharing but it’s just lingo, you are reading way to fucking far into it.

                we shouldnt, its literally not piracy and it confuses young people approaching it.

                  Now I’m legitimately curious, what do you propose we call it? I do think piracy is misleading but I’ve always rolled with it since thats what people know it as.

                    its called sharing. some edgy people tried to ride the piracy name as a counterculture thing and i think it bit us in the ass because of course nobody takes seriously “the Pirate party” or whatever
