    It’s kind of condescending to assume everyone does the same thing you do. Even if it’s a majority.

    Or are you assuming that no one backs up media for the sake of backing it up? Cause that’s… pretty nearsighted.

            Should the rights of even one person doing a legitimate thing be squandered because some others are nefarious?

            What if I said you couldn’t have your favorite food because someone found a way to use it to poison people?

              If you give that response, the other commenter vaporizes. Fascinating!

              Why is nobody able to admit when someone has a point anymore? Learning and collaboration should be the point of the internet.

                Because it’s fucking pointless to respond when one side won’t even admit to piracy being a thing.

                One person asked for evidence for piracy, which we all know happens, it’s not a minor thing but sources are all over the place, and everyone going ‘see piracy isn’t a thing’. Well proves the other side then. Prove how many people only use these devices legitimately.

                You can’t. You can only say legitimate uses happen, piracy uses happen. And don’t fucking bullshit me that those rcm jigs were mostly sold for homebrew only.

                It’s a pointless conversation at this point because I asked for evidence and the response is strawman, changing the topic to justification, just like the NRA does and there’s no benefit to continue and just leave it at that.

        And? I’d say less than 1% pirate. I can throw in random unfounded metrics too. Still doesn’t change the point. Just because you don’t doesn’t mean someone else won’t. Which again isn’t even the point of the article.

        The point is someone could backup their game and sell it. The buyer being unaware it would ban their console.
