You do have a choice; do not consume the product. You are not entitled to art because you want it.

- zelphirkalt 3y agoThis idea creates a lot of chance inequality in society and excludes many people from good parts of life.
- WendyTheWillow 3y agoYes, inequality in society will exist, but such is the nature of the concept of property. Not everyone gets to access all property.
- leptons 3y agoThis isn't about "art". That's a disingenuous argument. What if the monopoly is keeping a live-saving medicine prohibitively expensive, because people are just greedy. Or some other thing that modern lives are based around - not "art". In some cases the choice is buy the thing from the monopoly, or die, or be jobless or some other kind of calamity. We're not talking about hanging art on a wall to look at.
- johnnyanmac 3y agoIt is literally about art. People need to stop exaggerating piracy to life essentials if they want to be taken seriously. No, I will not blame a homeless dude who grabs a few pieces of food from a grocery store. It can be literal life or death. I can't say the same about someone who "needs to play GTA V" (it was already free at some points. So you're not just entitled but inefficient in your frugality). we can take down big pharma first and then worry about DRM on media you want to consume. It's not all or nothing.
