      Option three: Donate to creator or buy something directly from them to help offset the cost of pirating.

        A donation or purchasing something else doesn’t legally or morally entitle you to owning an unrelated product made by the creator though…

          it’s immoral to prevent people from sharing tools or stories or songs or skills. i’m entitled to enjoy whatever someone wants to share with me.
