After stealing the newspaper?
- BlewisJS 6y agoIs it amoral to turn the volume down during radio ads?
- wolco2 6y agoI don't think it's amoral just the same as pirate movies. It's the same.
- jamil7 6y agoStealing a free newspaper?
- wolco2 6y agoNewspapers like the New York Times? The free ones they hand out in subways contain 80% ads. If you cut the ads out you will have nothing left to hold onto.
- jeofken 6y agoBrowsing the web is equivalent of your butler shouting to another butler to please GET /some/page, and the other butler then kindly replying with a document. Theft requires the action to not be voluntary, but a web server replying with a page is free to reject my request. It is entirely moral.
- wolco2 6y agoThe torrent accepts my clients request. My mp3 player will play that song you downloaded as well. It's like your butler downloading a torrent with a song played to you. I won't argue pirating is not moral. But it has the same morality as blocking ads.
- jeofken 6y agoI agree that copyright law does not make sense
