Hi guys, first of all, I fully support Piracy. But Im writing a piece on my blog about what I might considere as “Ethical Piracy” and I would like to hear your concepts of it.
Basically my line is if I have the capacity of paying for something and is more convinient that pirating, ill pay. It happens to me a lot when I wanna watch a movie with my boyfriend. I like original audio, but he likes dub, so instead of scrapping through the web looking for a dub, I just select the language on the streaming platform. That is convinient to me.
In what situations do you think is not OK to pirate something? And where is 100 justified and everybody should sail the seas instead?
I would like to hear you.
I look at it this way: A company’s goal is to generate revenue from some product’s sale. So, I could ask myself two questions regarding digital items:
Am I making money from the piracy of that product? Is this product something I would have otherwise purchased?
As I’m not making money from it and they are not being deprived revenue as I would not have bought it anyway, my actions are therefore ethical.
