My unwavering belief is that piracy has always been a way to make art accessible to those it wouldn't reach otherwise
I'm saying this because ttrpgs have always been a western-anglophone(sometimes straight up US)centric hobby. I wouldn't have been able to play with my buddies if it weren't for the many sketchy pdf websites that gave me access to rules without paying 30 USD* for a product that doesn't even ship to my part of the world
*right now (26 Feb 2026), 1 USD is 16,777 IDR. For that price I can buy a full meal of rice, protein, and veggies (at some places even a cheap cup of tea too), so 30 USD IS A MONTH'S WORTH OF LUNCH. I DON'T HAVE THAT MUCH MONEY FOR DIGITAL BOOKS
