"piracy doesn't hurt sales"
i'm seriously unsurprised by this, most people i knew who were pirates also bought a lot of media

@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 yea exactly. i watched most of steven universe by pirating it just bc it was impossible to watch otherwise since i didn't have cable. now i can watch it legally so i'm keeping up \o/
