Sorry but no, this won't work as you'd know the goods were gained through deception (since that's the only way the goods would be made available to you).

- justinclift 3y agoSorry, but no to your no. You're trying to blindly force things into a shape they don't fit. :)
- WendyTheWillow 3y agoNope, it's actually super straightforward; piracy is immoral, as it relies on deception to exist. You must lie in order to obtain the copy of the work in the first place, or you must benefit from someone else's lie. This is a violation of the social contract and is therefore immoral.
- justinclift 3y ago> This is a violation of the social contract ... Again, you're imagining something to exist in some kind of concrete form when it really doesn't. That you want the world to operate in some perfect way is ok, but not being able to comprehend that's not the reality just sounds like mental issues. :/
- WendyTheWillow 3y agoNo. The social contract need not be in a "concrete form" to apply here. This isn't some preference for a perfect world; it's an observation that acting in one specific way is not conducive to an operating societal set of rules. Be honest: how much did you know about social contract theory before this conversation?
