So basically most Muslim scholars say piracy is forbidden cause it's a form of stealing. The basics argument is taking anything from anyone without thier consent is morally wrong and haram. If someone makes anything like a book, game or software and he sells it you shouldn't pirate it unless they agree to give it for free.

There are exceptions for that, for example if you need a book or a course but you can't afford it you can pirate it on the promise that you'll give it's honor the money once you've it. Also, concealing knowledge is a sin in islam, so it's permitted to pirate books and courses if the platform had banned your country ips for example or you can't pay because us sanitation or if a state try to hide a boom for example or it's owner refused to share knowledge and decided to not sell his book anymore. but if it's available for sale it's haram to pirate it against it's owner will.

How do you guys argue against these fatwas? Are there fatwas that make piracy halal? Why do you think it's halal if you do?

Does it matter?

There is no god, not the Christian one, not the Muslim one, not the Hindu one, none of them, they're all human inventions.

But for the sake of argument, let's say there is

Do you really believe that that God is sitting there with a tally list on of you touched your peepee and enjoyed it?.do you really think he's checking the contents of your hard drive to see if you haven't taken something from greedy corporation that happily supports murderous fascists without paying them?

I mean, ethically? I honestly believe that it's a sin to pay these fuckers because you're paying literally to help fascism grow. It's the right thing to do to just torrent the media, any media, like AI companies also did, without paying a dime. Hey, wt least i don't take from the average Joe who got ripped off by AI bots.

So to answer your question: stop asking questions and just do the right thing, just download that movie

Sharing is ethically good. There needs to be more sharing in the world.
