A new survey from Norway reveals that 50% of young people under 30 believe that pirating content is an acceptable way to save money. The survey, conducted by Ipsos, highlights that the high cost of streaming services is a key driver behind this attitude. Links between piracy and organized crime or malware, appear to be of less concern.

People are being exploited and screwed over left and right. Piracy is not even a blip on the radar.

If society was built on moral rules and honest behavior, then maybe people should feel bad about pirating. But this society? Lols.

I struggle to even see the difference from slavery on most days.

When companies treat you as a criminal even when you do try to do everything their way, it really becomes hard to care.

The way many companies act, you'd think they believe that you have to be a sucker to buy/use their own products.

Even when honest, I can approve the piracy in those days, as companies exploit everything, it acceptable for me.
