    I very much remember trying to pirate a few fonts as a teenager because I only found them on paid sites and them shits were over a hundred dollars. For a font!

      Sometimes piracy isn’t a service issue.

      Sometimes it’s a greed issue.

    Yes. I wouldn’t steal a car, but I would pirate a font.

    I have no use for a car, so there’s very little incentive to steal one.
