I am a completely unashamed pirate. I will not hide or justify that fact. I pirate because I'm cheap and lazy.

But I will never pretend that I am entitled to what I pirate and that someone should make something for me with nothing in return. If I can pirate, cool. If not, oh well.

I support Ayaswan less out of values, but more because their fanbox is cheap for me. I barely notice the money leaving my bank from my subscriptions. It isn't because I'm rich or anything, I just have very few expenses and don't spend a lot.

Plus the other benefit of being a patron to the artists is that I don't have to sit around twiddling my thumbs wondering if someone is going to upload their newest works. Now just waiting for Comiket to allow digital purchases on the day (or at least a week to maybe a month later).
