Most of the time when people say they have an unpopular opinion, it turns out it's actually pretty popular.

Do you have some that's really unpopular and most likely will get you downvoted?

People are really entitled when it comes to copyright, just because they like something they think it's okay to steal it, just because "it doesn't hurt anyone", an while in some cases that may be true, they act offended when something is behind a paywall or when an artist or company try to limit access to a piece of media. The author and the copyright owners are in their right to do whatever they like with any song/movie/show/book, and people shouldn't be mad because someone limit access to something they rightfully own. Imagine if your neighbor comes walking into your house and steal food in your freezer because they say "they're a fan of your food" that's fucking stupid. Stop bitching about not being able to consume like the pigs you are and try to produce your own things instead.

they're not stealing food, they're copying something that can be copied unlimited times for close to zero cost. no one is deprived of a physical product

It still a tangible income you deny to the author. Go to a book store and read an entire book right there, and see if they don't kick you out just because technically you didn't seal a physical object.

Go to a cinema and record the movie to see what the staff says, of to a music store and record and entire album in your phone, lmao how people can't get the simplest of concepts
