You can think it's bad to pirate media and still be hard-pressed to care when someone does it.

- bickeringyokel 6y agoI'm almost at odds with myself on this. I think it's probably somewhat unethical to pirate stuff, but it's much more unethical to aggressively punish people that do... For the most part The effect is so intangible for the large media funded projects as well, pirating your local struggling musicians might be another story, but is that really much worse than the current streaming model what you get paid a few thousand dollars for millions on streams?
- wccrawford 6y agoI feel like that would be a rare soul these days. People are so prone to screaming about every little "sin", even if it's really nothing. It's like they can't distinguish between things that are bad and things that are unconscionably bad, and scream at the same volume regardless.
- michaelt 6y ago> I feel like that would be a rare soul these days. Remember, there's a big selection bias on that impression. After all, the people who think it's none of their business if X at work is sleeping on the job don't post about it on social media.
