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’m not bashing you, just pointing out our differences, but I think it’s really interesting that you say “me enjoying it … has zero impact on the content creators” but you also think you SHOULD feel bad for it and that it’s wrong.

    My view (that cannot possibly be theft) *feels* natural to me, and your viewpoint (if I tried to have it myself) would feel way more like “rationalizing” or “justifying”.

    Also you’re right, public libraries rock :)

      Just because I know something is wrong does not mean I feel bad 🏴‍☠️
