Zhen Liu, back when he was Thomas Lee on a certain blue planet, used to partake in digital piracy.
He didn't think anything was wrong with it at first, since he was of the belief that anything posted on the Internet was fair game, but then he started actually working in those creative and digital entertainment spaces, befriended people who were a part of it, that he realized how incredibly harmful it was.
Well, how incredibly harmful it was to individuals and indie creators, he didn't give a rat's ass when it came to the stuff produced by giant corporations that nickel and dime everything basic.
Regardless, once he started to realize how harmful it was, he began to put in effort in supporting those original creators.
However, he never really felt or understood the rage that those creators felt...until now.
