        Pirating doesnt really exist without foss tho does it? All the tools, even just for dvd ripping could never exist the same way as closed source software.

        have fun pirating stuff with your subscription based torrent client, that communicates home and whose operators know your payment information ;w;

          You joke, but it really exists: the company that acquired uTorrent 17 years ago now sells an ad-free version of their current torrent client as “BitTorrent Pro” for USD$20/year, or alternatively as part of a VPN service bundle for $70/year.

          Needless to say, stick with FOSS clients like qBittorrent/Deluge/etc instead.
