Stop pushing your own moral values onto others.
- cestith 4y agoI don't know about you, but many of us on HN make our livings with things protected by copyright, trademark, and sometimes patents. Supporting the framework that enables our livelihoods is not a moral judgment. It is a practical concern. Also, there are legal issues over promotion of pirated content. Also, there are ethical concerns over pirating content that is easily and cheaply available legally. Also, I said "Please" and didn't force anything on anyone. Also, under a strict interpretation posting directly to pirated material is likely a violation of the Terms of Use for HN. https://www.ycombinator.com/legal/#tou https://www.ycombinator.com/legal/#tou
