    If it were legal to download movies and music, Netflix and Spotify would absolutely not exist. Steam is an unusual case, because games are running software and can't be trivially r…

    None of those services could exist today if copyright didn't exist, because streaming services wouldn't be able to compete with free downloads. I think Patreon and Kickstarter are …

    If you're looking for that kind of content, you could remove the minus sign?
