I don't think you've read my posts because I KNOW people think pirating isn't wrong. And they go through a variety of mental hoops to rationalize why it isn't.

I don't think you've read my posts because I KNOW people think pirating isn't wrong. And they go through a variety of mental hoops to rationalize why it isn't. They're wrong. And nothing you've said defends their position, all you've said is that they have it.
- kybernetikos 14y agoThat's nearly what I've been saying in this thread. What I've been saying is that for many people it is not a rationalization. They genuinely believe, because of arguments from history and logic that sharing isn't wrong. They aren't jumping through mental hoops, this is their honest belief after considering the alternatives and arguments. Now that isn't to say that there aren't some, maybe many people for whom it is purely rationalization, but your posts seem to entirely ignore any other possibility.
