    The hard part is having enough storage to pirate a $60 game a million times.

        Just use cloud storage indeed, they may detect that it was already stored and just store it once but give many people access.

        Does it count as a pirated copy if it’s deduped? 🤔

          Just because the datablocks are deduplicated the filenames would be uniqe.

            But would that mean that a symlink is also a pirated copy? 😄

      I just use btrfs duplication so it’s easy and doesn’t waste additional space. Pirates of old used caves near an X, but risk of must. I don’t use X because of musk.
