    I may or may not have advocated for the high seas during my lecture today… for comedy sake, of course.

      Do we need to dance around piracy on this platform?

      I steal everything I watch, and most of what I read, almost all from thepiratebay.org.

      I run a Digital Ocean droplet I spun up years ago in Amsterdam. Threw an OpenVPN server on there with solid instructions from Digital Ocean.

      $6 a month, I steal media as I please. Ban me.

        I’m just joking about beating around the bush, of course, since that’s what me and the students kept doing in class. The classroom has a zoom room camera and I kept winking at it when we talked about pirating games and music. But we’re also the only ones who see the video so it’s unlikely to get us in trouble, even if people cared.

        Also instructors (and academics in general) pirate the fuck out of things. It was even mentioned in my orientation when I went to grad school, haha.
