@vahnj In the past month I've bought at least one movie that I pirated the month before. Also in general I buy things that I really really enjoy because I like having shelves full of media.

@witchfynder_finder before i stopped pirating (mostly) altogether (unless it's related to accessibility or the creators aren't gonna see $ otherwise) i used to pirate to try stuff out all the time

it all started with winamp, really

@witchfynder_finder i still never paid for winamp
