But they are available for free. I can go to any torrent site and get anything I want.
You don't think they should be available for free, but that's quite a different argument.
> You're right that greed is normal human behaviour, but that doesn't make it okay, let alone good.
Downloading a movie to watch on a Sunday afternoon that you would never pay for is not greed, it's curiosity more than anything. It's greed to try and punish that behavior.
I'm sorry to see you've been so successfully indoctrinated.
- robertlagrant 3y agoA Porsche is available for free if you're willing to steal one. After all, it's curiosity more than anything.
- PrimeMcFly 3y agolol, those 'you wouldn't steal a car' propaganda commercials really had an effect on you, didn't they? If I steal a Porsche, I'm depriving someone of a Porsche. If I download Ace Ventura, I'm not depriving anyone of anything.
- robertlagrant 3y agoYour reasoning isn't scoped to that, though. You're just talking about how you should have things if you want them. If you want to be more specific, then say things that aren't so easily countered.
- PrimeMcFly 3y ago> Your reasoning isn't scoped to that, though. Yes, it was! The context was very clearly piracy. > If you want to be more specific, then say things that aren't so easily countered. Nah. Context was clear. You simply have no argument and made an argument in bad faith. In any event, now that you do understand the context, surely you have a counter? Or did those MPAA commercials not provide you your next line?
