Piracy is rising fast—and it's not just nostalgia.
15+ billion piracy site visits in 2023 Software piracy remains ~37% Music piracy jumped 13% in a year Streaming piracy up 36% since 2020
Why the increase?
Subscription fatigue
Rising costs across SaaS and entertainment
Fragmented content (too many platforms)
DRM is punishing legit users
Loss of ownership in digital goods
People aren’t just stealing—they’re pushing back.
When paid options are worse than pirated ones, the system is broken. Time to rethink value, access, and trust.
I'm noticing a rise in software, media, and game piracy again. Why?
Because people are fed up.
SaaS fatigue. Subscription overload. Constant price hikes with minimal improvements. Products we never truly "own." DRM that breaks more than it protects.
It’s no longer just about "getting it free"—for many, it’s a protest. When Photoshop is $30/month and requires internet to launch, and movies are split across 6+ overpriced services, people will rebel.
We’ve modernized the tools, but repeated the mistake:
Make access too expensive or too frustrating, and piracy becomes a more ethical experience.
People don’t want to be free. They want fairness.
Microsoft’s Copilot Vision now allows Windows insiders to share their entire desktop with AI for real-time analysis

While it promises convenience, this raises serious privacy concerns 
. Users must opt in, but the potential for unwanted data collection is real.
Is it worth trading privacy for productivity?

Even if you don't consider yourself an artist, #GenAI threatens lower standards for all our lives. When we all come to face the results of that, I fear we'll have nobody but ourselves to blame #techethics #ai https://cpf.sh/blog/2025/07/06/we-are-all-creatives-genai-threatens-us-all
cpf.shWe are all creatives. GenAI threatens us allYou might not see yourself as an artist, and #GenAI may not be "taking your job", but it threatens lowering all our standards for what the world we live in looks like. When we all come to face the results of that, we'll have nobody but ourselves to blame.

Meta AI users are unknowingly posting private chats — from confessions to political views — on a public feed. 
This comes as the 2025 Incogni report ranks Meta last in AI privacy, citing invasive data use and poor transparency 
If AI feels human, can we still trust it with personal info?

Totally agree beause the human connection builds real trust, especially in life support. At squads.com, we see AI as a tool to assist, not to replace people. Maybe it’s time more companies asked where AI adds value, not just if it can.
Where do youu think AI helps?
