Hi guys, first of all, I fully support Piracy. But Im writing a piece on my blog about what I might considere as "Ethical Piracy" and I would like to hear your concepts of it.

Basically my line is if I have the capacity of paying for something and is more convinient that pirating, ill pay. It happens to me a lot when I wanna watch a movie with my boyfriend. I like original audio, but he likes dub, so instead of scrapping through the web looking for a dub, I just select the language on the streaming platform. That is convinient to me.

In what situations do you think is not OK to pirate something? And where is 100 justified and everybody should sail the seas instead?

I would like to hear you.

Do iphones have SD cards? And yes, you drive a good point. Expandable storage is a must and super convenient

No and most android companies are also doing away with SD card slots. I have spectrum mobile and the only phones they offer with SD slots are low spec Samsungs.

Gotta love the companies' sorry excuses for ditching things that are good. "It's hindering design progress! We need to move away from these outdated standards! We can't make them work with new hardware!" - On removable batteries and backs, audio jacks, physical keyboards and repairability.
