    The majority of people pirate, but insofar as there is a single person who wants to do literally anything else with their hacked system, then it isn’t exclusively about pirating, and the narrative to condemn the entire practice of hacking as being solely about pirating is nothing more than another corporation trying to make it harder for people to modify their own property as they see fit.

      I think buddy is asking for honesty in the discussion. If your goal is piracy, just say so, don’t hide behind that one person who “wants to do literally anything else”.

      You’re right, generally speaking, but most of us don’t fit into that category.

        That’ll never happen so long as there’s the possibility of being sued for admitting you’re doing something that might be illegal. It’s simply not worth the risk to most people.

        Don’t fight for yourself, fight for the community.

        It doesn’t matter what I want, it matters what the community as a whole wants, and we want more than just pirating. Nobody’s hiding, we’re just not missing the forest for the trees; it’s not honesty in discussion to boil and entire group of people down to the desires of just the few people in this thread, it’s just being self-centered.

        If you want to talk about what you as an individual want, feel free, but don’t act like it’s the definitive thing to discuss when the community is greater than all of us.
