My friend, whom I will call Alex for the sake of this post, and I got into a bit of an argument, if you can even call it that, over something I think is really stupid. So, apparently, the new Minecraft movie has already been pirated, and a friend of mine sent the link to a server I am in with him, Alex, and all of our other friends. My reaction was "dang, it's pirated already?" because I genuinely wasn't expecting people to pirate it this quickly. I didn't watch it as I don't like watching pirated content, especially of movies that are still in theaters. Alex replied to me saying that it's not that hard. While I don't really know how people get around the anti-pirating measures streaming services have, I figured that it's easier than recording the movie in the theater for a decent quality pirate, which is what I told her.

She said that's not how people pirate things, and I am not sure if she meant for things in theaters or for television in general, but I told her that, whatever the case, I have no idea how people did it for things in theaters since I don't go googling how to do that, and I don't really care to know because again, I don't really care about knowing how to create pirated content. For some reason, this seemed to piss her off and she said that "that's why you're so fucking oblivious all the time" which I don't really understand. I asked her what she meant and she, really pissed off, asked me if I really wanted her to spell it out for me. Because I wasn't trying to create more of an argument, I said no, and she, in what I thought was condescending (though I can't really tell since it was over text with no tone tags), said that it was the first good choice I made in a while.

So, AITA for not caring to know how people pirate movies that are still in theaters?
