You can tell yourself whatever you want, but at the end of the day, you're consuming the material on this board. Someone has to produce the material, and usually, that someone makes a living from it. If nobody bought it, it wouldn't exist. This should be fucking obvious, but some of you seem to ignore this fact.
That being said, saying 4chan is just for stuff that's hard to find is bullshit. If someone suddenly directed you to places to legitimately purchase EVERYTHING in your collection, would you do it? Would you even be able to afford it? Would you delete everything if you couldn't? There's plenty of material around that was bought by 4channers, and shared. $3 wouldn't break most people, but $3 several hundred times might. Does that make it right to not pay for it? No, not really. But if you have a problem with moral ambiguity, you probably shouldn't be here.
I've paid for some stuff myself, and if someone asked for it, I would share. Why? Because someone else has shared with me a lot of what I have. If you want to support an artist, pay for their stuff. If you don't want to share it with the rest of us, that's fine, but don't flaunt it, and don't pretend to be morally superior.
