alt Hacker NewsOkay great. Then can you acknowledge that when everyone else is talking about piracy, none of us are talking about you?
You are the 0.001% of pirates, but you make assertions here like all pirates are high minded people who are secretly actually paying for the content and are only interested in some extra video quality. That describes such a vanishingly small number of pirates that it’s meaningless in the broader discussion about piracy.

No, he's still a pirate.
If he doesn't like what the distributor releases, he shouldn't watch the movie or show at all. Paying for a legitimate copy does not grant you infinite legal or moral use of the work, only permission to view the version of the work provided under terms set by the OWNER of the work.

you are replying to comment "I do. Multiple times, even."
Not a native speaker, but as far as I know in English "I" in this context refers to a single person, specifically someone writing this referring to themselves.
If anything you made assertions referring to general population and it is quote easy to guess that "Some times I read these mental gymnastics comments about piracy being easier and wonder if these people have actually tried to learn how to use something like an Apple TV." will have nonrepresentation on HN.

piracy-related laws often miss exemptions for cases like this
I acknowledge nothing. Especially not those made up numbers.
