good things about piracy

[SuperBug]

Hi Midas
I live in a country where the government blocks certain sites so I have to find my way around these in order to get what I enjoy, be it books or even movies. We have Netflix but it is a dumbed down version of the US one so whilst we pay more for the subscription we actually get less program content. Again this sux, so I look elsewhere, that's whats good about piracy for me.

Its about:

No censorship
sharing of information
fast downloads (usually)
research sources availability
entertainment accessability

Some video-related examples:

*A dvd from the store will have unskippable trailers, the pirated version won't have the trailers, just the video itself.

*Online streaming services like Netflix can pull a tv show/movie off their service at anytime. With piracy, once you download your video, you can keep it as long as you like.

Good point.
