You are a patron of the arts if you give money to a creator on patreon. That is all. You GIVE them money. It's not a purchase. You do not get rights to anything, they do not owe you anything. It is a choice to help support artists you like to continue doing what they do. That is all.
While I do agree on the general idea, there's one point that I believe is incorrect: he/she does get the right to something.
Not from Patreon, but from VAM: VAM packaging includes a licence system. I don't know if
"licenseType" : "PC" holds any legal value, but you cannot just ignore it in your argument.
That being said, this is a piracy forum. The whole purpose of it is to share without caring about the licencing of stuff posted here.
That's why creators should be banned from this thread.. They're just looking for trouble and when they see their shit getting shared they start whining
Please, don't put everybody in the same bag. I see piracy as a way to share to more people.
Is anybody seriously believing that everybody here would have paid for the all stuff they've downloaded from this forum, if it hasn't existed? There is no "great loss". Quite the contrary, here: people share what one of them has paid for. So there is at least, 1 paying patreon for it. And some people who follow the logic: "if you like it, buy it".
