    Like which one exactly?

    Ever read the message at the beginning of a rip? You know, the one with the FBI logo on it. Remind me what it says?

    There is none. Some rips used to come with a “Ripped by [some nick]” and a scene group logo, but they’ve grown out of fashion.

    Just kidding, I know you meant this one: https://youtu.be/CXca40Z01Ss

    • Like which one exactly?

      “people who were not going to pay” is not one singular group, but you use this as if everybody who isn’t going to pay is part of the same demographic. Some people won’t pay because they don’t want it in the first place. Some people won’t pay because while they want it, they can’t afford it. And some won’t pay but will take it anyway because they feel entitled to it.

      Painting all these groups with the same brush is disingenuous at best, and intentionally deceptive at worst.
