I mean sure, but “same key twice” isn’t exactly a specific character to type. I mean I hit caps lock twice typing my password for this site.

Who put you in charge of diving out some grand meaning of piracy? I’ve encountered plenty of people for whom a major aspect of piracy is that it’s a way to access content they would otherwise be uninterested in paying for, for whatever reasons they have. Who’s to say they’re wrong for wanting free content?

This one is different from other similar attacks because it works against extremely quiet keyboards

Were you previously able to identify what someone typed with 96% precision based entirely on the sound of their keyboard? Because I would wager most people cannot

How does that even work? Like, all the keys are generally manufactured to the same standards such that any physical difference in keys causing different sounds is a combination of user damage and random factory errors, no?

Nope. They have exactly as much money as they had before I pirated their shit. It’s a false assumption if you assume that people would purchase everything they pirate, and not just do something else free

For me personally, that falls under willingness to purchase. I only want to buy the same thing so many times.

For me the primary question is “Am I willing and able to buy this firsthand”.

The latter is the most obvious. For instance, Nintendo won’t sell me a game for the ds no matter how willing I am to buy. Therefore, I have no issues with pirating said game since they refuse to distribute it.

The former is more nuanced. Sometimes it’s a matter of distain for the company and their business practices, such as Adobe. Sometimes it’s a matter of the thing being incredibly overpriced. Sometimes it’s just something that contributes so little value to me the only reason I’d interact with it is if it’s free. Sometimes it’s lack of knowledge about what I’m getting, and I want to try it first.

Also when it comes to Anime specifically, I try to support creators in other ways because my objections to the licensing companies in the US has nothing to do with the content itself.

Because it’s stupid as hell for every single individual to do all the work themselves when someone has already done all of it.
