My enjoyment itself is what does that? What if viewing the artifact bores me to tears? No moral crime then?
- Ansil849 4y agoThe "moral crime" (a term the previous poster used, not me) is in knowingly patronizing something that houses stolen goods, not in whether you enjoyed them or not. 'Enjoyment' was just the example the previous poster used, the same would hold true if they had said 'hatred' instead of 'enjoyment'. If you come over to someone's house, and watch whatever is on their stolen TV, it doesn't matter if you're enjoying what's on the TV or if you hate the TV, by knowingly associating with the thief you're tacitly OKing their actions.
- robonerd 4y agoOh okay, I'm in the clear then. I only visit the museums on the days they're open for free to the public.
