Just because I don't believe in intellectual property?
I'm a programmer just like you... piracy also "hurts" me. As long as you support the authors in some way, then it's okay in my book.
Also, that Github project may have swayed me.

So release your own projects as open source or public domain or whatever you want. > As long as you support the authors in some way, then it's okay in my book. Given that you're using someone else's work, it doesn't matter what's "ok in your book", it matters what's ok in the developer's book.

- stephenr 10y agoDoes it matter to you if I come into your house and shit in your fish tank?
- pikachu_is_cool 10y agoA better metaphor would be: "Does it matter to you if I made an exact copy of your fish tank, and then shat in it?", in which case, I wouldn't care.
