    Fun fact: you can just pirate stuff.

    You don’t have to make semantic arguments to justify to yourself why it’s actually moral or not technically stealing or whatever. You can just pirate stuff.

      Yes, rejection of ethical concerns is possible. But it’s also possible to understand why something is ok or not. In fact it’s sort of key to having any sort of society.

      Ps. Piracy isn’t unethical.

        In most cases piracy amounts to at the end of the day taking money and negatively affecting someones life. You can nitpick and tell yourself it’s only a corporation that gets hurt but that’s a lie you tell yourself.

        Unless the content is being horded and not available it’s incredibly unethical.

          More than a couple of developers disagree with this. I’m sure you also say that stealing from walmart is wrong. Which I don’t think it is, if you’re poor at least.
