Stealing, Media pirating, basically downloading music off the net without paying for it, and more.
I am a 54 year old media pirate. To those who don’t know that is like downloading retail music without paying for it. Some see it as going to a candy store and swiping a snickers candy bar without the attendant catching you. You basically stole it is the music industrys way of seeing. Let it be known that i don’t do child p***. I am more a download music for nothing kind of pirate. From my point of view it is not really stealing. to me stealing is seeing a bicycle there and no one around. So i just get on the bike and run with it. The owner comes back and is deprived of an object. Another instance is as a child i took a dollar bill from my moms purse. I was very young. less than 10 years old. Boy did i get heat when she caught me. She yelled at me who do you think you are routine. Then on top of all her yelling she made me give back the dollar. so back to my confession. I have been a media pirate for a long time. Here in the united states it is highly illegal. I use a seedbox and File Transfer protocol apps to bypass the FBI monitoring that goes on with torrents. Since i have switched to the seedbox which is like a tunnel between me and the FBI i have not received any scary we got you letters from Mediacom. In my warped mind it isn’t stealing if you don’t get caught. At this point this is one of my secrets i can’t tell my therpaist who i am close with. It’s like we mind meld each time we meet. She can see behind the curtain perse. for instance if i am frustrated she looks to see what is causing the frustration. This helps reduce the frustration almost instantly. Am i sorry i am doing this? yes i very sorry i have this media pirating thing. What began as downloading a song from Napster for nothing has turned into terrabytes and terrabytes of data. One thing i like is i am not in it for the money. To my mind that crosses a new line of gotcas. I have learned something over my journeys. Be careful with your uploads. Since i mostly download these with 0 uploads fbi seems to ignore me.
I am scared that one day i will be caught and punished. Right now i feel i am on a runaway train that will eventually fall off the rails and land me in prison with fines. For now though i am safe. Thank you for listening to my confession. I hope god will lift his convicting off me.
