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.
Well, since I don’t own what I buy, I don’t see how pirating is anything other than getting something from a cheaper distributor.
After all, how can I steal something that can’t be owned?
You see, streaming is a service and you choosing to not use their service is… uhmm… theft!
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.
Young people under 30
as opposed to old people under 30, like me! Still pirate though
As a Norwegian I talked to some acquaintances about a TV-series they liked and I asked “Cool, where can I watch it?”. Then we all just looked at each other and laughed.
Honestly, I’m surprised it’s only 50%. They don’t have a cost of living crisis there?
