Piracy, in today’s context of unauthorized sharing of digital content, is wrongly condemned as immoral theft. However, it is not piracy itself that is immoral. Rather, it is the greed-driven laws and practices that censor knowledge and creative works to maximize profits. At its core, piracy is about sharing information and creative works with others, which should be seen as a moral good. 🤑
No, I’m so sorry, your low quality response doesn’t disprove any of my points. You didn’t even try because you know you can’t.
In your case choosing to pirate = choosing not to buy. If you chose not to buy without pirating it would’ve been the same thing. You were never forced to buy anything, don’t convince yourself otherwise.
Are you telling me how I think?
It’s been some years since I pirated stuff, but I definetely did it because I had no money and I wanted to play the games ASAP. I could have saved to buy them, but I chose to be selfish and focus on instant gratification.
Most pirates just want free content, that’s it. They want to save their money.
I’m not judging you for that, I’ve downloaded stuff because I couldn’t afford also.
There are different type of pirates all doing the same thing for different reasons, which are all very valid.
The one thing to keep in mind is that piracy is by no means “stealing”, not even close. When you pirate stuff you’re not depriving the creator or other buying customers of their products because you’re essentially just sharing/downloading a digital, replicable copy.
If anything it’s copyright infringement, we should start calling it for what it actually is.
