MM: so I got it on my computer now.

MM: what is this, gristtorrent?

SB: It's the game's way of allowing a transfer of grist.

SB: You can select which person's game state transfers to which other game state.

SB: Left click on the grists you want to transfer and right click on the one you want to transfer to.

SK: so youre pirating grist

SB: In essence, yes.

SK: how do you know this

SB: SOUND L1K3 4 GR34T QU3ST1ON, W1SH 1 H4D 4N 4NSW3R.

SK: of fucking course

MM: wait, priacy?

MM: I don't want to pirate.

MM: I wouldn't download car.

SB: Right, because you don't download cars unless you're playing a game with car dlc.

SB: Piracy is in line with the author's true intention, which is to be enjoyed as much as possible.

SB: Itch.io is a great case.

SB: A lot of the games on their have an asking price, but you can support the game's developers by giving more than asked.

SB: Piracy is there often used by people who may not have to money or resources to go to a movie theatre or track down a 20-year-old game on a gaming console that isn't even being sold anymore.

SB: It's for people to enjoy a product for a much longer time and for a lot more people.

SB: Most anti-piracy measures are there for the large companies.

SB: Who may not even pay their workers enough money to survive.

SB: Perhaps if you were concerned about giving the artists who made the product money, and not the execs, then paypal or mail a check or something the original artist.

SB: Because a lot of piracy is done way after the fact, after all the reciprocal payments are done.

SB: Do you think that watching a charlie chaplin movie would be paying him?  No, because he's still dead, but the company that made his movies still probably owns the license.

SB: So, in this particular case, piracy is not only allowed, but requested from the "artists" of the things.

SK: ...

SK: you had a whole speil about piracy just lining up waiting to get used

SB: Well, you've got to make a point somewhere.

MM: you make a point there.

MM: I'll pirate, if that's what this is.
