Re: Rise Senki Sinamonica
You say that, but it's still a lot more troublesome than, say, sharing images, videos or text, all of which I can do easily and for free, using many convenient services. Trying to share a binary file or archive with someone, though, tends to be a bit more work. Not impossible, and it's gotten better lately with a few new sites like mega, but so many file uploading sites are rife with ads, misleading banners, long wait times, strict download limits and suchlike, even for small files, while youtube streams a 350 MB video to you with at worst a 30 second ad that you can usually skip.
The piracy angle is there, of course, but even legitimate files are harder to send to people than they should be.
