    Get off YouTube if you don’t agree with their terms. I’m all for piracy but only if it doesn’t incur any losses (i.e. offline software and games).

        I’m not. I just find it hypocritical. You don’t like it yet you keep using it.

          I’m not.

          A highly profitable company like alphabet/google has enough money to hire people to say the things you are saying, and in fact they do. You can let them defend themselves, they will be OK.

            I’m not defending any corps specifically. I’m against any kind of piracy that incurs additional costs to the service/product providers.

            Pirating movies, software, games, music are totally fine but breaching the ToS on online services is kinda scummy. It could be a big corp or a small website ran by someone in their bedroom, it doesn’t matter.
