Think about it
(lemm.ee)
So I can keep my rental car, got it.
One might argue that software developers deserve to be paid fairly for their work.
That argument falls flat, though, when their products include user-hostile misfeatures like performance-ruining DRM and obnoxious in-app advertising, which pirates remove. By including such misfeatures, software companies are basically punishing their customers for not pirating their products.
Why even pirate the game if you don't agree with the mechanics?
Why make a version without the restrictive DRM and annoying ads if you don't agree with the mechanics of restrictive DRM and annoying ads, you say? Hmm, that's a real puzzler 🤔
