A flawed system right from the beginning. If I buy a CD, I can sell that same CD to somebody else, or even free. You know when you buy a gift to someone.
When it's come to piracy I always remember an old South Park episode, when the kids downloading music , and than a guy come in and show them all the harm they do. P Diddy, can't buy this diamond fountain, that month, He has to wait a couple of week more, because Stan download his music. and Britney spears had to change his G5 private jet, to a G4 private, jet, and there is no 5.1 home theater sytem in that , etc etc etc.

I don't see for example the developer the architect ( Goons Raider Her, Hack and Stalk ) bitching about this site, and he has way less patreons. 300 patreon, but he not whining.
"if you like what I do please considering support" - and that is all. Admirable behaviour. but dpc being a jerk, is not. let's say I'm his patreon, with discord benefits, and I say during a conversation, that Hey I read a great theory on F95 site, lets talk about it, and then He bans me. He basically stole my money. Can't I sue Him ? Not onyl he wants MY money, he also wants to tell me What can or can't say.
We can go and on about it by I don't understand, why people want to protect his behaviour, when it's clearly not a sympathetic.
