We can agree about piracy being detrimental for sure! We just disagree on how detrimental it is vs corpo's own actions.
Regarding the donations, it's "give whatever you want, even 0, and inly when I say we need new gear", so I wouldn't say it's lost revenue since barely anyone donates and it all goes directly to covering part of the cost of new hard drives. I've asked for donations twice so far, and none of the times have seen enough donations to cover for 100% of equipment expenses. Just thought I'd clarify on the "donations" thing :)
