Piracy arguably benefits society (by providing access to media etc) more than these other entities (the copyright holders, BREIN etc).

- barelyauser 3y agoPiracy does not produce media. Copyright holders are kind of lame for charging to watch something made decades ago and that already made a profit. Copyright law should be changed.
- swayvil 3y agoDid anybody say that piracy produces media?
- barelyauser 3y agoYes, I did.

- tmtvl 3y agoIn order for access to media to be provided media has to exist. If those who create media cannot recover tte investments they make to create that media, less media will exist. Therefore piracy, which denies media creators the chance to recover their investments, harms society by reducing the potential amount of media that exists. ...at least, that's a hypothesis, but reality makes things trickier because not all media is a benefit to society. (As an example, those anime that were produced under the guidance of the Happy Science group.)
