    What’s legal is not necessarily what’s moral, and there’s nothing immoral about freely procuring an infinitely replicable digital product. If anything, it’s immoral to enclose upon them and charge rents for them. No better than landlords, the big streaming companies, save for the fact that entertainment isn’t vital for living.

      There’s absolutely something immoral about stealing. If you don’t think there is then it just means your morals are out of whack.

      You think people renting out their property is immoral? Yeah nah, your opinion on this is wrong.

        You think people renting out their property is immoral?

        Correct. All wealth is the product of labor, therefore rent and profit are theft, and workers taking back a bit of the wealth stolen from them is good.

        Landlords are parasites that prey on the vulnerable and produce nothing of value. Corporations who own and profit from ”intellectual property” are no different.

        And what precisely is the moral issue with stealing? Depriving someone of their personal property, which piracy is not.
