> Pirating content is morally wrong.
I don't know. Through piracy, especially poor people in developing countries have had access to a lot of software, books, education, even medicine, that they simply could not have been able to afford otherwise.
- hellogoodbyeeee 10y agoPiracy of expensive software by individuals in developing countries could prevent local software companies from starting up and supplying that need or could stunt the growth of open source alternatives. I think arguing against education and books is harder, but generally I will stand by my statement that stealing is wrong.

- icebraining 10y agoIf you're interested in debate, you should make an argument defending your position. Otherwise, it makes for very boring conversation. If you do make an argument, I'd advise you to leave the whole "stealing" part aside. It's really only a weak shortcut to proving the immorality of content piracy, and it's better to avoid such tricks and show the full argument.
