It doesn’t matter if it’s a CD, a Film, or manual with the instructions to build a spaceship. If you copy it, the original owner doesn’t lose anything. If you don’t copy it, the only one missing something (the experience) is YOU.

Piracy was shown to drive businesses in several occasions by independent and biased corps (trying to show the opposite).

      And it’s cute how ignorant you are!

      I’m the one around here who says pirates who explicitly do not want to pay are the most moral, and those who create rationalizations like “the artists don’t get enough of the sales” and “I already own a copy” are immoral.

      The statement “if morality is tied to law” was an observation about the fallacy of those rationalizations.

      Clearly I do not believe morality is tied to law, or I would not hold the opinions in the first paragraph. This was me practicing the art of conversation and speaking to others’ points, to show that they do not hold water.
