If you pay for your pirated content you are doing it wrong

I don't think I am, it's Usenet and a VPN, and costs less than my Spotify Family account.

But this is paying for a service that's used to obtain content, not directly for the content

And you can pay with crypto, not providing any personal information at all

Aside: I am surprised to see people (on the fediverse of all things) hating on cryptocurrency. Where did this sudden turn of perception come from?

Oh that is so odd. I'm not from the US but I think cryptocurrencies are somehow associated with right wing there and the left wing hates on them because of this?

It's so odd seeing people self-describing as oppressed minorities hating on technology that lets you bypass that oppression.

So, as always, politicians are at fault
