I'm just waiting for that glorious day when I can, in fact, download a car.

Technically you can do so now. But you would need a metal 3D printer to build it (or make it out of plastic I guess). I remember reading something about a dude who bought a industrial 3D printer setup just so he could print out a Rolls Royce Phantom.

I've always said, if you can't sell me something based on interest and quality entertainment, then I'm pirating it, because I never would have bought it anyways.

Nothing besides better pricing/permanent availability would stop me from piracy

I actually spent time on ripping the 'you wouldn't steal...' video from the first DVD that I had with it on it, just for the sheer irony. 😅

well yeah you simply cannot convince me that copying a sequence of 1s and 0s between two computers is tantamount to stealing
