    Generally you’re supporting the author by consuming their work. I wouldn’t want to support a pedo, especially if it benefits them monetarily.

      I’ll copy-paste because I essentially got the same response before 😅

      Yeah, but piracy exists. If it didn’t existed, I wouldn’t consume those works either, I can give you that point, but you can simply pirate.

      And yeah, I understand all about the bad taste, it happened with two musicians I liked a lot that were groomers and all that, and another 9ne that sexually abused a partner of him, and now I can’t hear their songs because I feel uncomfortable. It’s ok and normal. The whole point is that it’s still personal and I won’t be policing anyone who still listens to them, and I still listen other artists that did such things because I didn’t felt such a emotional connection with these.

      Tbh, I’ll admit that I focused it wrong, the thing I actually hate are those moral policers and SJW that cancel people like a sport.

        It sounds like somebody told you “piracy fails to support artists” and you took the wrong thing away from that.

        Edit: oh it’s in this thread whoops. I don’t think you’re addressing what the comment to whom you’re replying is saying.
