Is it legal to pirate paid blender scripts / addons like hops? I thought it was not possible to have paid addons / scripts?

I think nobody will give af if you pirate blender addons, even if you use them for professional work

All Blender addons are GPL, it's not even piracy if someone wants to share them.

Correction, sorry. All Blender addons sold in the blender market are GPL. I suppose there could be non GPL addons sold independently.

the majority of the addons on the blender market have no links to free, up to date source repos to download from

If their license is gpl, you can email them and request the source code. They legally have to supply you with their source, according to gpl

That doesn't mean sharing them is illegal, it's really just not done out of good manners. I'd bet most creators would send you a free copy if you asked and are a hobbyist

pirate them all you want, without piracy nothing would get made

im not a hobbyist, I've made money off of this, which has nothing to do with being GPL

I'm not sure but haven't the recently versions of blender already come with an integrated add-on that can do some stuff that hops do?

That's not how the GPL works at all
>if you release the modified version to the public in some way, the GPL requires you to make the modified source code available to the program's users, under the GPL.

Only the code is explicitly GPL.
Some people bundle assets with it that are explicitly NOT GPL

What?

Do you really think some blender nerd is gonna sue you for pirating his addon? You really think he has lawyer, who's gonna get him a profitable settlement from your broke ass?

Pirate with impunity, OP. There's literally nothing they can or will even try to do.
