    I pirated Paddington 2 the other day then deleted it. If that wasn’t available I would have watched something else. I get what you’re saying, but I also don’t take it that seriously. I mean, I watched Paddington 2. I’m not exactly a movie buff.

      And there you have it. Piracy is becoming the only valid means of truly possessing media.

      Would you take it seriously if none of the movies you want to watch are available, or only for an unreasonable price?

      And if you say you would just do something else, thats dismissing the issue.

      Access to media is another right that has to be fought for unfortunately.

      It falls into a similar category to book burning, although instead of the motives being malicious, they are based in greed and (in your case) apathy.
