Hypothetically, if you had to pay for every item you've pirated, how much do you estimate that would've costed? (At original price, no fines or anything like that) (sh.itjust.works)

I think the total cost for me would've probably been like $5000 (USD) at least. Like at least 100 movies. 150 TV shows, 50 games.

Pirscy has its negatives, anything ive spent money on ive been compelled to use, piracy ill build up a library of barely touched software, doing myself a disservice not learning/using them, but they feel less imporrtant if they can be gotten free, only really applies to the initial learning phase but most stuff I pirate I dont get past that phase

Ive spent hella time watching garbage I wouldve never bought but watched it because it was free, wont get that time back lol, many games ill never play because I pirated them and didnt even try them, but that just made them feel like they could be played whenever, and since the only cost was the time it took to downlaod/install I was never rushing to open them
