    right? Also, like, look at Adobe - there's no way they'd have their de-facto monopoly as a creative suite if it wasn't for teens'n'tweens learning photoshop on their own time with a pirated version in the early naughts. People got to create what they wanted to, learned some skills that for some eventually turned into a career and it's not like Adobe suffered for it lol

    piracy is a net good for society, even a capitalist one, and I'll party on this hill

      I hire for a job where Premiere is a required skill and haven’t met a single applicant under the age of 30 who didn’t start out “playing around with Adobe” when they were a teenager.
