    Maybe people would be be less inclined to pirate if the economy wasn’t so fucked up. Why would anyone spend money on entertainment when they could barely afford living expenses? (Other than the threat of lawsuits for copyright infringement)

            I mean, honestly, the US isn’t that bad when you compare it to the entire world, it’s only when you compare it amonst other developed countries, that you find it very low tier.
