You’re against pirating then?
- voltaireodactyl 4y agoPhilosophically? Not at all. Morally? Depends on the circumstances. Practically? Yes. I like art, and wish to keep seeing it produced at a high level of quality, and that requires community. So until the world agrees on an economy not premised on extraction of value from the individual, I oppose pirating. Pay people for their work. That being said, I know I don't speak only for myself when I say I would prefer to be paid for my work, but if the price will prevent someone from seeing it, I'd prefer the work be seen. Be careful not to confuse artists, who create things, with distributors, who do not. They are the ones you're really angry at.
