    I never stopped pirating. It’s been so weird seeing the zeitgeist over the past 15 years shifted into corporate ass kissing. Like I get it. Everyone grew up and became working stiffs. Sat in your stuffy suits in cubicles and started believing the corporate bullshit you had to huff every day.

    It’s been weird though. How we went from the great recession Occupy Wall Street mindset into a 180 pivot of pro-corporations. I sure did enjoy being lectured about paying monthly fees for owning nothing and making sure I enjoying it like a good consumer.

      People were guilted into thinking that the people working on TV and movies wouldn’t get paid. It wasn’t “corporate ass-kissing” more like the no-name camera guy should get paid for their work.

      Now I don’t know if that’s actually true, things are still getting made and actors are making shit loads of money.
