I have a right to do anything I want as long as my actions don't harm anyone else. Pirating digital content causes no harm as long as I was not going to pay for the content anyway because consuming the content has zero marginal cost to the creator. They're in the exact same position either way.
- badcppdev 3y agoSo in your scenario do you enable pirating digital copies for other people? After all they might have decided to pay for the content at a later stage? And how do you feel about this conversation? Are your words influencing me to perhaps walk back from my stance of, "Don't watch if you don't pay"? Are you causing potential harm to the content creators if you convince me? And how do you know that you wouldn't pay for the content in the future?
