People subconsciously want drama, especially during covid lockdown. Whole situation is perfect breeding ground for opinions, moral and legal axis missing each other big time. Expectations are subverted, as actors are circumventing our core values. OP buying what he shouldn't, having multiple forum accounts, making money pirating movies or whatever , seller trying to game the forum for traffic, then to game the buyer himself by luring him into something he doesn't need, and ultimately people trying to judge the guilt, when both actors are twisted in their own ways.
