How often does a link get posted here of content that is behind a paywall? If you bypass it to read it, didny't you just learn via illegal content? I'm not sure where the "official" comes in, but it's clearly widely accepted.
If you watch a YouTube video to learn something and it's later taken down for using copyrighted images, you learned from illegal content.
Sure, and I feel zero moral qualms about me or anyone else doing it. The vast majority of the shit flows flows from the other direction towards individuals and consumers when it comes to content delivery companies and worse still, software companies. Let's address that before wringing our hands about individual acts of "piracy", even at scale.
I could, right now in just a few minutes, go download a perfectly functional pirated copy of nearly any Adobe program, nearly any Microsoft program and a whole range of books and movies, yet I see zero real financial troubles affecting any of the companies behind these. All the contrary in fact.

I've been in taxi just about three times in my life and zero in Uber. Usually just take bus/tram/train, walk or bike. Car for utility in the country. I think I do not live in fantastic futuristic city (it is in eastern Europe) but at least it is not dystopia.
I’m a “ruralite“ and I would certainly prefer wolves over human hunters in certain conditions. I would also advocate for expanding these conditions to wherever possible in Europe.
Kindly stop presuming that you can speak for other people you haven’t actually asked for their opinion.
Battery fires, battery drain leaving you stranded somewhere, all sort of GPS map issues sending people off cliff or onto railway, malware, dependent medical equipment, etc.
