Mine has always been music. I don’t really download a lot of it as much anymore. But I am registered to a dirt cheap MP3 site where I pay $1.22 for an entire album and then download it.
Games, I used to have pirated but I’ve got so damn many that it defeats the purpose. I’ve downloaded hundreds of ROMs of old games and gotten some DRM-free stuff from DDL. I’m set for life on games.
Movies, I don’t pirate. I’ve built a steady collection just by thrifting alone for dirt cheap movies, not even burned copies.
Books, I mean if I really had the ambition to, I’d pirate. But I honestly prefer having the books in my hand and I can get them for cheap.
Shows, same as movies. I thrift a lot and that neutralizes the need for me to pirate.
Software, yeah I still occasionally will pirate if there’s a program I’m not going to sink some $$$ digits for or some poor sap out there wanting to charge $70 for a “lifetime license” for a software of a tool I’d need desperately for something I want done and I’m not gonna wait a lifetime for to finally afford without buyer’s remorse.
So, music and software is all I’m after because I love music above all other media.
Obscure, cult, and foreign genre movies. I like finding films that have been lost to time and I have this probably irrational fear that if I don’t acquire them they’ll disappear and I’ll lose my chance to see them.
Out of curiosity, does it not feel weird to pay $1 for an album that someone else clearly pirated? Cut out the middle man and plunder that booty yourself for free! Or pay more money and actually contribute to the artist.
Your current plan is giving your hard earned dollar to organized criminals for nothing more than the illusion of a legal purchase. What they are doing (selling pirated content for profit) is literally more illegal than piracy itself.

Souls. They are left on graveyards, i think so far nobody found out i just take them when nobody is looking :)
I am the CDkey whisperer. I put combinations of numbers and letters together like Snape brewing a potion.
What kind of question is this fool?
So instead of just downloading whatever you want you have a collection of various stuff and only watch those? Weird
