The best argument is that I don’t give a shit whether it’s morally justifiable or not, i’ll never get in trouble with the law for it, i like getting free stuff and the only victims are corporations and fuck them
Oh fully agree nobody should have to justify stealing from corporations it’s just hilarious that even the biggest bootlicking civility fetishist would have a hard time scolding somebody for this when the corporations are doing something worse by any objective observation.
I like to buy books so the author gets paid, then pirate it electronically for a searchable / drm free convenient experience.
I also did that with video games back when they were on cd-rom and required the disk to be in to play. I’d buy it, rip an iso of the cd and just use daemon tools instead of the physical disks. Still do that with movies sometimes.
I need to get set back up to torrent stuff with how much media is being pulled from streaming services. My kids were really upset when prodigy got dropped for no reason when we were half way through it.
This is the best argument for piracy.
I’d even say you can get to a pretty strong argument that it’s morally justifiable.
Why is it any better for them to take something from you that you’ve already paid for then for you to take something you didn’t pay for.
I’d say stuff like this makes you morally obligated to pirate
Well you see they’re a giant corporation so they have rights and you don’t!

I think, in a capitalist society, people should be paid for their efforts.
Once we have, I think it’s okay for us to do what we have to do to retain access.
