The question is up to interpetation.

The $5000 estimate is if the law catched up to me right now after the fact. For me personally, if piracy weren’t a thing, I probably wouldn’t have spend much on entertainment and would’ve just been reading wikis for the story, and only pay to watch something if the story is really good and has good reviews. 90% of the stuff I watched now would probably never would’ve watched in that other timeline.

As for video games, I would’ve only been play free-to-play games and watching youtube playthroughs.

Probably wouldn’t understand a lot of memes. But then again, if piracy werent a thing, many other people also wouldn’t understand those memes.
