    So why do we call ourselves pirates? Why do we call it piracy?

    I’m all for fuck corpos and freedom of sharing but it’s just lingo, you are reading way to fucking far into it.

      we shouldnt, its literally not piracy and it confuses young people approaching it.

        Now I’m legitimately curious, what do you propose we call it? I do think piracy is misleading but I’ve always rolled with it since thats what people know it as.

          its called sharing. some edgy people tried to ride the piracy name as a counterculture thing and i think it bit us in the ass because of course nobody takes seriously “the Pirate party” or whatever
