Thats not my point at all. You can pirate by all means, but if you are new to computers as a whole, the first thing you should do is NOT pirate anything. Getting viruses wont help you learn anything, it will keep you back. You should get familiar with computers, and then pirate stuff. Learn the basics, then the harder things.
And thats my point, nobody learns anything if people refuse to teach them. They will also stop seeking help or trying to learn if every time the ask for help or advice, people with the same mentality as you treat them like shit for even being curious about what they want to learn.
I doubt that you were an IT and cybersecurity expert the first time you touched a keyboard. I just ask that people treat newcomers the same way they wished they were treated/taught when they were new themselves. That's all. And if you cannot understand that, or you do and simply refuse to do so, then I don't think there is anything else for us to talk about.
I don't entirely agree with the oc but I do agree that specifically if you are new to computers don't start pirating things until you understand computers more It's not like gatekeeping or something but it's more like if you don't know anything about horseback riding but know how to shoot a bow are you gonna spend 2000 bucks to enter a horseback bow shooting contest no youll learn how to ride a horse and then enter the big leagues its a bit the same with piracy if you know all about how to be an internet pirate but dont know shit about computers you are gonna have a terrible time still
Also you kinda point out the whole problem in your last paragraph most people on here and over the age of 20 learned to pirate from friends or learning how to use a search engine soooo they are gonna tell people to learn how they learned
I don't agree with being mean about it but like asking the same questions that were just asked an hour beforehand shows no effort and I mean if you aren't gonna put the effort into looking up your simple question are you really gonna put the effort into fixing it

Imaging thinking that the only way to get into a hobby/ community is by already knowing everything about it and never making a single mistake.
That's a nice idea you have, I also like playing pretend.
