    Morality aside, I prefer not to pirate software for safety reasons. Malware is an issue, even if it’s rare.

      I definitely understand that. These days I hate playing games if I can’t get them on GOG.

        Bad analogy. I’m still ‘going outside’. It’s just a question of how much I pay to mitigate the ‘chance of catching the flu’.

        More like cycling to work with or without a helmet. Or wearing a cheap mask during covid.

        Perfectly happy to pirate media, but pirated software is a risk I can largely avoid for a very low cost.

        Your personal circumstances may differ, so do what you want.
