Lets say you are an early start-up,less than 5 people, that has no revenue and is still building a product, with money being little or non-existent. Couldn't it be partially justifiable to not pay your rent/employees/electric bill to give you the best advantage to achieve success?
- eggbrain 16y agoLike I said in the parent, "[I am not] trying to imply that anything is justifiable if you need to catch up to the competition" It is also worth noting that while not paying your rent/employees has an immediate harm, it is not so quite clear if there is an immediate harm with warez software. If my startup downloads Photoshop, did I deny Adobe products a sale if I would just grumble and use an alternative if I could not? You could argue either way, but there would be no clear answer. If I don't give someone money for rent, did I deny them money? Well, quite obviously, yes.
