People are saying it is morally justified to pirate which is the same conclusion your seemed to have reached. Nobody is saying it is legally justified.
It might just be a definition thing, but I doubt it, considering how pretty much every argument I’ve gone across is implying I said it was wrong. I view it as a neutral thing, but not justified. We’re talking about illegally taking luxury things because we don’t want to pay the price. If we were talking about no one getting hurt to take something you need, 100% justified. But we are talking about taking something you just want. I have no moral qualms about doing it, but I don’t claim to be justified in doing so.
Like I think it would be justified if it were for some piece of software that you really need but can’t afford, or would really make your life much easier. But for watching old Seinfeld episodes, or getting a new video game on release, it’s not.
