- WendyTheWillow 3y agoSo you understand now what makes piracy so uninterestingly immoral? So clearly a violation then, enacted by free riders who wish only to benefit from the effort and concession of others?
- Jochim 3y ago> enacted by free riders who wish only to benefit from the effort and concession of others? You mean like doing something once and then expecting to be paid for it in perpetuity? Expecting to be paid for the efforts of others, decades after their death? Redefining the legal system in order to prevent others from carrying out the, distribution? I'm much more concerned about those free riders than a teen with no way to pay for digital goods, someone who couldn't afford it, or someone who'd like to keep the things they pay for.
- WendyTheWillow 3y agoIf that's what the owner of the work wants, that's what they're entitled to. It's theirs. Besides, the concern isn't pirating The Sound of Music. The concern is pirating Game of Thrones or Euphoria. That's what's being discussed here. You can obviously find exceptions to the general rule of "piracy is immoral" but it is the general rule.
