Piracy is morally right, copying from greedy companies that spy on their customers for shady purposes and take advantage of their position to impose unfair terms. If buying no longer means owning something, then pirating cannot be considered theft
Piracy has never been theft because nothing is missing. It’s not stealing or theft if someone takes a picture of my shoes and makes their own because I still have shoes.
Yeah, not only that, people who pirate wouldn’t have consumed the product, if pirating weren’t available as an option. They’ve priced cost of living so high, and reduced access to content availability. When Netflix first came out, especially the streaming version, I bet there was a noticible drop in piracy, now they’ve made content access to hard, more piracy. They control the levels of piracy. It’s not a choice to pay for everything we want to watch, or pirate. It’s pirate or don’t watch. And they created that situation, and then try and brainwash / gaslight us into feeling guilty and feeling like it’s our fault. And then add in the moral clause, these companies are committing or contributing to atrocities. Some piracy is an attempt to avoid supporting companies that cause harm to people. If “wrong” is condemned, what about the wrongs that have caused them to be listed on boycott lists. Underpaying employees and writers, who should own the content. I think writers should be as famous, and focused on as the actors. The content being created currently has a heaping of “conform, don’t think” built in, too, I could rant about that, annoyingly, for a bit, too! So many things.
