Hacker News Reader

I trust the pirate community infinitely more than I trust any big corporation, Microsoft, EA, Steam etc.

Imo it's more common for the "legit" copy of the software to have dodgy spyware and such in it, which is removed by the cracker.

That corporate spyware won’t steal your credit card. I’d rather have my data stolen than money

Well, you give them the card for a free trial, then end up forgetting to cancel, and the effect is similar.
