    That’s a great idea to have these comments for the posterity.
    To my lawyer in the future :

    “Everything I could have wrote in reddit about pirating was a lie to get upvotes. Don’t take any of it seriously.”

      Everything I ever wrote about me pirating anything was also a lie to get upvotes! A higher Karma score on reddit means a higher standing. Which is why I always lied about having pirated things.

      Now here comes the truth. I’ve never pirated anything, that would be wrong and immoral!

      Back in the day, our collective friend SWIM took the rap for everything. Nobody ever did anything illegal, SWIM did.

      Let the logs state that I declare I have never been a pirate a day in my life, I don’t own a boat nor do I know what torrenting is

        Torrenting? Like a torrent of hellfire?! Which is where you’ll go if you pirate anything made by a multi-hundred-billion dollar corporation?

        How are the executives at AT&T, Comcast, Disney and Viacom supposed to pay for their diamond-dusted lambos if we pirate things?!

        Did you know that AT&T bought time warner? How is AT&T supposed to pay off that purchase if a tiny percentage of their products are pirated?!

        I only ever claimed I pirated things to fit in…peer pressure! LOOK IT UP!
