I will pirate it if it’s old (tv series from the 80’s, for example) or if I can’t get it legally. I live in a country that falls through distribution loopholes moderately often. Like right now, I can’t watch the latest season of Lower Decks on prime even though I could the previous ones. Some kind of licensing thing. If it’s not resolved soon, I’ll be taking to the high seas for it.
The books aren’t terrible, though they are YA fic.
