If you are just purchasing used movies at discount prices, the of creator never gets that money anyway, so pirating has 0 effect on that.
Unless the people before you purchased them rather than pirated, as they also expected re-sale value.

I thought 32GiB would be enough coming from 16, but nope, I found a new use case where it’s too little.
Originally, I wanted to be able to run at least 2 VMs with 8GiB assigned at once.
But the new use case is a 4GiB RAM VM with 20GiB virtual disk stored in RAM (TMPFS). And that’s not all that much.
I’ve also just been using it for random temporary things, as I am still paranoid about SSD wear. If I need to download an ISO just to burn it, there’s no need to take, say, 3GiB from the SSD’s lifespan, no matter how small that may seem.
But even if not used explicitly, it’s still pretty useful for disk I/O cache. Especially with slow things like memory cards. At least for reading, for writing it’s just annoying because I have no idea how much has already transferred, and neither can I safely stop it.
