Because I forgot I own it… no. But because I was too lazy go get the physical media and insert into my desktop player, oh yes. To be fair it downloaded probably faster than the time I would’ve spent looking for it.
I thought I had cyberpunk on steam, couldn’t find it so figured I must have pirated it when it launched. I downloaded it and was about to install it when a friend reminded me that gog existed and that was where I owned it.
i often pirate movies from a streaming services that im subscribed why? well im used to watch movies at 1.10x speed and tvshows at 1.15x i’d been doing this for years now and i cant go back and netflix or primevideo apps in Smart TV dont allow you to set custom speed so i download the movie on my nas and watch it using VLC for android TV/FIRETV better quality and custom speed.
this is in my bedroom on PC i cant set custom speed using browser
How is Serato these days? I moved to Traktor around 5 years ago but have recently been looking to change controllers and not sure if I should stick with Traktor or try moving back.
I just use the sampler as a VST in my daw for some inspiration.
Edit: now that I look they actually have a pretty generous 30 day trial for Sample 2.0 even if you’ve trialed an older version before. I’m so used to 3 day trials with something like iLok tacked on too.
I’ve done that with console games on multiple occasions. I’ll own a physical copy and already went through the trouble to back up my own copy with my console but I’ll download it anyway
On the off chance the checksum on yours is different, you don’t want it somehow noted and flagged by … anyways, levels of paranoia I get and respect. They can’t take that thumb drive if its air-gapped!! Keep it hidden and safe children, its my legacy!
If I could find a dense and permanent enough storage medium, I would take (a copy of)it all to my grave… Feeling like by the time such reaches consumers at a reasonable price, it will also be able to hold a copy of the Pole Shif Survival Guide.

Do you think I’m worried about Microsoft coming after me for backing up my copy of Halo?
I make backups in case of disc or disc reader failures and download them through other means on occasion because I can’t be bothered removing the drive from the console or setting up an FTP server.
I have learned it works well enough to integrate into my workflow. Which was why I was looking into purchasing it, when I realized the buy option was replaced with download when I signed in.
I pirate things I have right in front of me!! Scratched DVD’s that won’t rip, same for CD’s, and sometimes old digital formats that are no longer well supported, or in the case of eBooks, don’t re-flow properly. Yes, some of us are still doing weird shit we got used to on Blackberries and Palm Pilots(These days I use Sprint Reader, but I’ll also read the material normally when studying for a test).
Some shows or movies I pay to stream don’t work well on whatever device I’ve opted to play them on. Knowing why doesn’t magically give me the means to transcode as needed without screen capture; Piracy skips the steps of watching them on a device I didn’t mean to just to edit/trim and then have them in a format I no longer need!
