There are some sites that host fanfiction, but it's important to note that many of them may have content that violates terms of use or is inappropriate. Archive of Our Own (AO3) is a popular site that has a wide range of fanfiction, including some that could be considered 'lemon' in nature, but it has strict tagging and content warning systems in place. FanFiction.net also has a large collection, but again, you need to be cautious when looking for such content as it may not always be in line with ethical or family - friendly standards.
I've never engaged in pirating as it is illegal and unethical. I believe in supporting creators and the industries by using legal means to access content.
Well, my first time pirating was with a software. I heard about this amazing photo - editing software that was quite expensive. I thought I could just get it for free through some not - so - legal websites. However, during the installation, my computer got a bunch of viruses. It was a real mess. I learned my lesson that pirating not only is unethical but can also cause a lot of trouble to my own device.
The consequences are quite serious. Legally, you are violating copyright laws. This can result in civil lawsuits where you may have to pay damages. From an industry point of view, it affects the revenue of the light novel business. Publishers may cut back on production or new projects if they are not making enough money due to piracy. Also, it's unfair to the authors who may have spent months or even years creating these works and deserve to be compensated for their efforts.
After pirating the music album, I started to feel bad for the artists. Their creativity and hard work should be respected. And if everyone pirates music, it could lead to less incentive for new music creation. So, the consequence for me was a change in my attitude towards respecting intellectual property rights.
