What is ethical to one - isn't for another. That's why we have a legal system.
Who will pay for game development and distribution?
So we should just accept the law as it is and assume the law is always right? Im here to debate ethics and question the law. Arent you here to do the same?
We have already stated that they can't afford to by the game and therefore wont be buying the game no matter what. Regardless of weather they pirate the game or not no money is going to the game license owner.
So to answer your question who will pay for development and distribution? Not this person.
Yes. And to change the law you should vote and press your representative to change the laws.
It's pointless, because the legal system is governed by laws, not by our conversation.
Do you find it fair, that someone should pay, but not "this person"?
Look I'm sorry I don't have the time or patience to deal with this level of ignorance. You should really read a book or go talk to a homeless person to find out how liberal political systems really work.
