I think the total cost for me would’ve probably been like $5000 (USD) at least. Like at least 100 movies. 150 TV shows, 50 games.

On music alone… I have 774 albums on my library, of which I probably legit own like 20-30. At a conservative 10€ per album, that’d be around 7500€ on music. I also have 81 series, of which some of them are dropout.tv, which I’m legit paying for, so let’s say 75 series that I pirate. I have no idea of the real cost, but let’s say each series is 100€ in bluray. That’s another 7500€. I also have 202 movies, of which I own some, but not in bluray, so let’s assume I’d have to buy all of them. At, let’s say, 20€/movie, that’s another 4000€.
So, in total I’d say I have around 19000€ on pirated content. There’s no way I could pay for all of it lol, but I also haven’t watched/listened to all of it, so I wouldn’t have bought it even if I could.
Edit: oh and I forgot about videogames. But I don’t pirate many of those lately anyway, since steam is so convenient, and I also have a big catalogue of free games from Epic. But I did pirate maaaany in the past. When I was a kid I would rent them and then download a “nocd” crack lol, those were the days.
