I wanna listen to a particular song by an artist who has recently turned pretty nazi. As I generally use Spotify I now refuse to listen to his music in there, esp as it generates earnings. I kinda wanna pirate the music somehow…I’m not gonna as I’m not gonna down a song or two and then store it on my phone like it’s the year 2000. But short story is this me justifying piracy to myself.

What about Hogwarts Legacy? I find the game is in an awfully awkward position. I absolutely do not condone Rowling and have divorced her from the franchise as well as almost everything newer than Deathly Hallows from my beloved IP, also hate WB for being corpo scum, but I really liked the groundwork the game laid down so I'd like to see Avalanche Software get a chance to make another game that fixes what the first got wrong while building on what it got right.

Without demolishing copyright laws, we have to give money to WB and some unknown percentage to the witch to get the game we want and I, personally, think we HP fans deserve a genuinely good Hogwarts simulator along the lines of HL meets Bully. Sadly, I can't designate my money to only go to Avalanche.

So in short, can we kill Rowling, WB execs and still get a Hogwarts 2 Electric Boogaloo? Because I like that option. Short of it, pick your annoyingly screwed moral box 😒
