- DoofusOfDeath 7y agoI agree, that's the kernel of the issue here. TL;DR: I'm curious if there's a way to make effective ethical arguments when people have fundamentally different world views, including whether or not morals have any solid grounding.
- mantap 7y agoYou can judge a moral system by how society would evolve if everyone followed it. If nobody pirated anything then we would still be buying music for 99 cents a track (or more) and music streaming would have been quashed by the labels. On the other hand if everybody pirated everything then the music industry would have collapsed. I conclude that the world needs all sorts of people.
