Imperfect

create piracy-worthy art

Rohan Joshi was a member of AIB, a discontinued Indian comedy group who made the infamous roast, AIB Knockout Ft. Arjun Kapoor And Ranveer Singh. Starting at 0:29:41 of A Decade Of Comedy ft. Vir Das, Abhishek Upmanyu, Rohan Joshi, Anu Menon, Neeti Palta, Karthik Kumar, he told the story of the proudest moment of his career:

And I will always say that the proudest moment of my career is this. I will tell this story till the day I die, alright? And this is how I sum up what the Roast is for me and the culture. I was walking down the street in Colaba. And this guy tried to sell me a pirated DVD of the Roast. And I still remember one of my proudest moments was taking the DVD from him, pointing to the cover, and going, "That's me." You, as somebody who has grown up in the 2000s, for me, the single biggest highlight of my career is I made something that people wanted to pirate. I used to go online myself and look at how many seeds and leeches the Roast torrent had.

Chances are that you have appreciated pirated content at some point in your life. Whether you have done so or not, you can dive deeper. Create such plentiful, compelling art that people will not only readily rip it from its source, but circulate it for you beyond your wildest dreams. If they somehow make more money from selling your work, it demonstrates its value and how much you can raise prices for those who will pay for it. Lethed by them, for bringing joy to the masses, and even for having "made it". Let the spread do the heavy lifting of attaching your name to your content, if not your holistic style, without having to lift a finger. their distribution of your work inform pride within: for feeling cheris

How can you emulate Rohan's sense of fulfillment through your own creation?
