Depends. They certainly lose a potential sale from some people, but many people who pirate books never would have read it if they needed to pay for it. Be that because of a lack of money or a lack of interest. Same with games and shows. So no lost sales there.

You could even argue that pirating helps with sales by causing people who never would have read the book otherwise to discuss it with friends or strangers online. I personally think that argument is a big stretch, but it’s not entirely wrong.

But yeah, more pirates should be willing to support authors of books they like. If you think they deserve it, buy the ebook even if you’ve already read the whole thing.

Interesting, I didn’t know that. I don’t know how the comics handle these subjects, but I think the most annoying part of basically all the marvel movies is the way they bring up an interesting moral conundrum only to completely abandon the idea once the reason for characters to fight is set up.

Thanos has a point? Can’t have that, he’s the bad guy! Let’s make him do the most evil thing he possibly could with that power so you never need to think about it again. What’s that, Civil War has interesting points on both sides? That’s nice honey, anyway, Tony and Cap are going to beat each other up now and we’re never going to mention it again.

Thanos was the universe’s biggest mass murderer, but at least he had a point (even if his solution was the dumbest thing imaginable}. Musk is just a PoS.

I tried Freetube for a while, but it just never works. An actual coin flip each day whether or not anything would load at all. I got so tired of it I just went back to Youtube, as I’ve only ever seen one single ad in my entire time using uBlock Origin on Librewolf.

As an American with some Italian blood in me who has been to hollywood once, I would appreciate if you stopped spreading the secrets of my superiors.

Farewell Lemm.ee, it was a good two years.
