Piracy is good and you should do more of it. Use https://aniwave.to/ and https://4anime.gg/ for streaming, and https://nyaa.si/ for torrents. Piracy is the only means of digital protest that audiences have to fight poor worker treatment.

Log Horizon is one of my favourite guilty pleasure shows. Keep going and just wait until the MC starts solving their burgeoning MMO society's problems... with free market capitalism and liberal democracy.
Riiiiiight I remember hearing that they deal with establishing an MMO society. Can't wait for social commentary from the same show that has people (well, Gamers anyway) randomly turn to banditry in what is essentially a post-scarcity society due to boredom.
Actually, now that I think about it, that makes even less sense. Banditry needs to have a high payoff to be worthwhile, but what exactly are you going to spend your stolen goods on when people aren't even aware you can cook food? From what's been shown so far, nobody's playing the new expansion content.
OH BOY
You see, what you need are INCENTIVE STRUCTURES. If you Keynesian economics all the negative externalities away, we can fix all of society's problems.
AAAAAAALLL OF THEM.
(I don't want to spoil too much of the show inadvertently so I'll leave how the show answers your question, or even whether if it just completely ignores it for the sake of the narrative, for you to find out. I'll just say that the show goes places that are incredibly inadvertently hilarious to someone with even a basic grasp of socialist concepts)
