There is enough open source and free and dirt cheap content available already that you can't play in a lifetime. While I agree that stuff that's too expensive for the majority of people shouldn't even exist, I don't see why creative content should be free for the taking in a society that doesn't support that way of life yet. Unless you also agree that people should be allowed to take everything else for free as well.

To quote the meme “if you see people steal food, diapers or medicine, no you did not”

I wouldn’t call it free for the taking because i still believe that under the current system all people with the means to pay, should pay. And thats also what i mostly observe in real life.

I am also against people taking and legally buying more then what they/relatives really need. There is way to much wasted around us, even properties.
