“There are entire fields where the FOSS is just hilariously behind proprietary software”

1. “hilariously”?
2. Examples?

Microsoft Windows.

To me it honestly just seems like you want someone else’s stuff for free and are just brining up morally in a misguided way to achieve that.

The article clearly mentions my use of Z-Library is to inspect before I buy. Now, because of being misrepresented twice, the discussion ends here.

“I really don’t understand why people think they have a moral right to other people’s creations.”

That’s a straw man fallacy. That statement removes all the always important context you just alluded to, a statement which was never claimed.

I like that you brought it up though, the original remark, a bit sardonic but that’s okay. It keeps me aware of my own potential generalizations, assumptions, fallacies, and whatnot.

“I like piracy too but saying that banning piracy is immortal and comparing it to apartheid, slavery and ccolonialism is just ridiculous.”

When one puts it like that it sure does seem ridiculous, but to me it is obvious that the analogy I am making is purely the fact that something being illegal does not mean it’s immoral.
