    It’s not a good idea to put any sort of identity on your car since people don’t generally think nice things about the drivers they see on the road with them. One of my friends refuses to put a Jesus fish bumper sticker in case she cuts someone off or something and they get mad at God.

      I had one on the back of my car that was a T-Rex biting a chunk out of the ichthys symbol. Lasted a lot longer than I thought it would living in the Bible Belt before someone ripped it off. People will definitely take your car decorations personally.

    Car stickers are never a good idea, ever. Not only do they look ridiculous, they give random strangers access to important information about you and your life situation. Do not volunteer personal Information.

    And then there is the uniquely stupid prospect of a piracy car sticker. What in the fuck gave you the idea that is somehow a good addition to your car? The activity ranges from unsavory to straight up illegal depending on where you live, why would anyone advertise they are doing that irl?

    Putting any sticker on your car is a great way to give free information out to people about yourself. Don’t give out free information to people about yourself.

    with piracy in general, you don’t really want to be noticed, so… no. slap it on the back of a street sign or the front door of a cop shop.

    It´s just as dumb as any sort of stickers that convey your personal opinion.

    Most people won´t care, very few will appreciate it but if there´s only one person that really really hates it, you might end up with a keyed car.

    Maybe if it’s just a jolly roger with “*ARRR” under it. Those in the know will understand, for others it’s just a silly pop culture reference. And has plausible deniability (“What? I just really like Pirates of the Caribbean and Sea of Thieves!”).

      Yeah this is my thought as well. I see nothing wrong with mostly surface level info for bumper stickers. However, I wouldn’t advertise doing anything against the law or hell, even less popular stuff then most. It unfortunately can single you out for potential vehicle damage or worse.

    Do it. Put the not-technically-piracy apps on your car. Qbittorrent, sonarr, radarr, jellyfin, etc.
