Probably because they grew up on the high seas, then found a more legal and convenient alternative, only to see it turn to shit. Old habits die hard.

The moment we learnt how to wear the skull n bones hat, it was tattooed into our brain.

We grew up from Napster, Limewire, edonkey, mIRC bots, mega upload, torrents... The list goes on. It was intoxicating the feeling of finding the newest, more reliable, faster, better way of pirating. We never forgot. But we started living on land because it was easier.

So once the land living came with advertising, and 15 different taxes wanting a cut...

The hesitation to set sail once again never existed.
