A new survey from Norway reveals that 50% of young people under 30 believe that pirating content is an acceptable way to save money. The survey, conducted by Ipsos, highlights that the high cost of streaming services is a key driver behind this attitude. Links between piracy and organized crime or malware, appear to be of less concern.

well, before that and for generations, banks printing money was an acceptable way of governments to make rich people richer and all others poorer, so i can fully accept that stealing was learned from govs and the richies there. change how “the successfull” accomplish their successes and you can teach the kids how to live without stealing, keep abuse by gov and richies as is and all the theft is done exactly as ordered by govs and richies, no matter the age.

Well, since I don’t own what I buy, I don’t see how pirating is anything other than getting something from a cheaper distributor.

After all, how can I steal something that can’t be owned?

Yeah, I’m just watching/playing the content, I’m fine doing that without the license, which is the paid part anyway, right?
