A study found that anti-piracy messages work on women but actually make men MORE likely to pirate (because dudes rock ).
Meanwhile the rest of the comments have entirely too many people fully admitting that they don't pirate because they "have too much to lose" and apparently don't know what a fricking VPN is, which is a truly darning indictment of what used to be one of the best tech-literate forums on the interwebs.

I refuse to believe even women are that pathetic. It's more likely they just lied to the researchers.

Lying to researchers is even more pathetic.

Thought-provoking comment. I'd argue the opposite: they'll still pirate but also get to seem like good little girls - the best of both worlds. It's purely rational.
If moids were rational they'd lie more.

The rational train of thought is "women don't know how to use technology and will be scared of it"

Lying to researchers kicks butt. I did a study where they were testing to see if I'd lie, I lied about lying and ruined the professor's results (he probably just lied about them).

Another reason why women tend to be more religious as it usually signals societal stability which women value more than men. Women also tend to be more traditionalist than men as well.

It's actually interesting how being very skilled with computer is enough of a force multiplier that you can make a 6 figure salary and not have to develop many other skills.

Most artists and entertainment talent make their money of shows and ticket sales, this is why Scar Jo threw a justifiable shit fit over her marvel slop coming out on Disney Plus when it was released in theaters.
