There are a lot of really shit takes, and the article mentions one of them. "If someone is going to pirate they had no intention of buying it in the first place." Point me to the location where I can buy it legally in my language, you prick. Can't? Then get the fuck out of here with your bad faith dribble.

Yes, people should be compensated for their work, but if their work is never going to be available in a region then any distribution in that region is not a loss of revenue or profit, especially when said distribution costs literally nothing. You are confusing missed opportunity with materialized profit.

This is the cost of releasing content that is not universal. You need to accept the fact that if you are not going to service a population, someone else will.
