People who wanted to steal tv shows never stopped. It's an ethics thing, not a convenience thing.
- davidjfelix 4y agoI really don't think it's that simple. Ethics bend and break around inconvenience.
- micromacrofoot 4y agoI absolutely stopped pirating due to the convenience of streaming. Maybe I'm unusual, but I doubt it.
- tomrod 4y agoVery few people operate against ethics, virtually everyone considers convenience (or, in other words, non-tangible use cost).
- tcptomato 4y agoCopyright infringement isn't theft. And to say that it's just an ethics thing, is completely ignorant view. It's perfectly acceptable to torrent something when living in a country that wasn't deemed worthy by the rights holder to release their product there.
- jupp0r 4y agoMusic piracy took off because people wanted to consume mp3s but the music industry kept telling them they should use CDs instead.
