Correlation does not = causation

I've seen all the latest movies months before they were ever released and I never paid a cent.
Gee I feel so dumb, I mean who in their right mind would want to save hundreds of dollars per year on their Talmudic entertainment?

RIP
Oh I better stop pirating, don't want my IQ to get any lower
Thank you merchant for the research
>>55182506
why don't correlate piracy with poverty instead?
>>55182645
This.

How the fuck would you IQ test people in some of those african countries lol. Is that picture a joke?
>>55182506
You think that's bad? Global warming has literally been caused by the lack of pirates recently. See pic related for proof.
You're choice: global warming and no pirates or pirates and a few retarded people. Choose wisely.

I passed the what.cd interview, I'm literally a genius.

They should do an IQ study on people who parrot this all the time. I'll bet they are fucking retarded as well.
Oh ok I guess better stop

china must be cheating

>above average iq
>torrent cause broke all the time
>why waste money on 1's and 0's
>>55182506
it's because only dumb people (with a low iq) would admit to pirating
>>55182506
Going strong tonight eh schlomo?

Lack of content to legally available content increases piracy rates. Big surprise.

lack of access I mean

It's only gonna get worse as CPUs become faster, cheaper and HEVC becomes more optimized. I remember a while back there was a thread where someone got like 10fps encoding 720p hevc on their fucking laptop.

Oh well, paying for it now won't make me any smarter
>>55182506
>people with higher IQ make more money and can buy more stuff
this is not a surprise
>>55182891
Perhaps there is some other explanation for both phenomena. For instance, maybe countries with lower IQs are also economically economically impoverished/run by a totalitarian regime, and this explains why these countries would both pirate more, and have lower IQs.
>>55182506
Low IQ country = poor country = less education = less knowledge about piracy = poverty = malnourished people = less mental growth
