So you want the experience without compensating the people who made the experience possible.
It's entirely possible to compensate them if the experience is valuable to you. Not doing so is wrong. Sorry, but that's how I see it.
- gizzlon 14y agoWhat if you download it and then buy it later.. what would you call that?
- waterlesscloud 14y agoThat would be fine, since you compensated the people who made the experience possible, as they have very clearly asked you to do. No offense, but this stuff is not a complicated moral dilemma by any means.
- gizzlon 14y agoBut between the download and the buy there's just a "promise" to buy. Would this make it just as illegal (or illegal) as just downloading it? "No offense, but this stuff is not a complicated moral dilemma by any means" Well, I agree to some extend, but moral != law.
- goostavos 14y agoI do this with movies sometimes. I don't always feel like watching things in my crappy local theater, so I'll buy a ticket online, and then torrent the film. Still illegal, but.. my conscience is at least clear.
- masklinn 14y ago> So you want the experience without compensating the people who made the experience possible. No. But yet again you're intent on strawmanning your way to feeling good about yourself, so I'm just going to stop this worthless "interaction". > Not doing so is wrong. Sorry, but that's how I see it. Sure, and you're free to do so, but — again — this has no relation to "tak[ing] money from the pockets [of people]".
