Why Do People Pirate ?

[FourCorners 6]

Corporate greed 

Broken apps

Ads on paid subscriptions

 

Anyone else care to chime in

Hard to believe in 2026 that these big million and billion dollar companies still waste money on clowns that can't build an app when all they need to do is sell api keys. If they sold api keys per month they would save millions & millions and gain billions.

If I had a disney api to put in emby I would be happy as can be

Don't forget the whole 'you paid for it but you don't own it' scheme.

Agreed and is the reason I spent my last cent on hard drives so I own it on a hard drive. I buy 100 packs on ebay for $30 copy them to puter then resell them. I bought 40 tv series on ebay for $13 copied them all resold the dvds. If I had an api I would have no reason to buy or copy anything but the greed continues.
