        we are not legal professionals. we're a bunch of tech ppl arguing on the internet about the semantics between agreements vs laws. i agree to the copyright because a metaphorical gun is held to my head by law — if i break the copyright agreement then law has power to persecute me. i don't see how that's any different to a layperson. you can split hairs all you want about agreement vs law, i'm not interested in that. there's a reason i didn't go to law school, those sort of debates are boring and annoying. yet here i am...

        No, you agree to copyright because it benefits the society you live in. The law isn't relevant here. The agreement you make is.

        no, you're incorrectly assuming why i agree to copyright, despite me telling you exactly why i agree to copyright: because of the threat of legal action. not to mention that i neither agree nor disagree with your statement that copyright benefits society. this is just a pointless exchange now.

        No, I'm telling you why it is you agree to copyright, as you seem unaware. Or rather, why a moral version of you would. If you choose to act immorally, fine. But at that point, you're acquiescing to my claim that piracy is immoral.
