The usual then. Pirates never have to deal with DRM and sometimes their games perform better — I recall a story about an anti-copy mechanism slowing the game down for people who purchased it. Good stuff.

I spend a lot of money in indie stuff- games, music, docus, books written by young academics, programmers, etc. And then I get the same content through other means. The experience is much, much better.

I ensure that the "small" people benefit from my consumption- the people who will actually benefit from my $10/$20/$50. But I also have to keep my comfort and ease in mind.

By that logic, no DRM makes sense at all, which is a take I understand but I think misses a lot of nuance.
