I wanna listen to a particular song by an artist who has recently turned pretty nazi. As I generally use Spotify I now refuse to listen to his music in there, esp as it generates earnings. I kinda wanna pirate the music somehow…I’m not gonna as I’m not gonna down a song or two and then store it on my phone like it’s the year 2000. But short story is this me justifying piracy to myself.

What about Hogwarts Legacy? Fuck copyright laws, pirate it. Just like with any other big-name game, lots of people will be buying it. Nobody will notice or care that you pirated.

we HP fans deserve a genuinely good Hogwarts simulator along the lines of HL meets Bully

If only Rockstar would make Bully: The Dark Ages.

Well yeah, I don't respect copyright law at all, but with HL, I genuinely liked the product and only bought after reviews and because I wanted it to be seen as a success so a sequel could get greenlit. I voted with my wallet for the product I want to see more of but I find it it a complicated stance when rubbing up against art vs artist.
