Bro that's the healthy way. If you start doing it young, at the ages of 50s it really makes a difference.

Right now you buy games and only you can play it. Which is different with any other form of physical good. I buy a car I can let someone drive it for a day. Why shouldn't this apply to digital goods as well?

Yeah absolutely. Which is something I am completely agreeing of. But the thing is that doesn't give us the right to steal it or make ourselves think it is not stealing. What I am doing is not buying such companies' products + pirating if I really need it. But I don't try to make it seem like how it is not (e.g. as it is not stealing).

That's how piracy started, because we couldn't share our goods with friends anymore. Digital companies decided it's loss for them.

I am pretty sure when Napster was a thing music CDs were still a thing as they are now too.

If you ever decide to host your own, via VPS or sth consider checking docker-mailserver and watchtower. First takes care of the mail stuff and the second updates your containers frequently so you will not have to manually update to new versions of the container (for security patches etc.).

But the thing they are selling to you is not only the data. Also the right to use it. When a studio makes a game spending millions of dollars they don't do it so one can buy it for 60$ and others can copy from him/her eh? Try moralizing it as much as you want. (If your being sarcastic sorry about that but doesn't look like it) Privacy Piracy is stealing, and I am accepting I am stealing. No need to think otherwise.
