Pirating comics is stealing.
I’m sure you’ve justified it to yourself and I’m sympathetic to your budget, but pirating comics is still stealing.
If a comic you pirated gets cancelled because of low sales, you have no place complaining about it. You contributed. You took away a sale that could have saved it.
When you can’t afford something, you don’t just steal it.
I know the system of how comics are sold really sucks.
But pirating comics is still stealing.
