Because basically, I don't think that the trouble they go to creates an obligation in me in regard of my network, my hard drive, my screen.

- hnal943 15y agoWhat a convenient morality you have. "I get to have what I want and have no obligation to anyone else." To bad it doesn't scale.
- v0cab 15y ago(I agree with JulianMorrison.) Why doesn't it scale?
- DanEdge 15y agoBecause people who don't pirate stuff are subsidising those who do and if nobody paid for anything, new stuff wouldn't get made (or at least it wouldn't be available from those people who relied on the income from sales to make a living).
- v0cab 15y ago> people who don't pirate stuff are subsidising those who do Well, the pirates aren't asking the buyers to subsidise them. > new stuff wouldn't get made Fine by me.
- tmh88j 15y agoI'd really like to hear your explanation for why you have no obligation. Just because pirating isn't theft in the technical sense, it doesn't mean you're excempt from paying for someone else's work if you use it for their intended purposes. (as in downloading a song and listening to it)
- v0cab 15y agoSomebody probably bought that song originally, and they are sharing it with you.

- zathen 15y agoYou cannot equate taking a cd and lending it to a friend to taking the contents of a cd and giving it away to a million people that you do not know. Sharing involves one party having to sacrifice and the other having to benefit, not both parties benefiting with absolutely no loss. You know, like sharing your lunch with someone. One sacrifices something so another can benefit. Stop redefining the meaning of the word.
