It doesn't matter if it's a CD, a Film, or manual with the instructions to build a spaceship. If you copy it, the original owner doesn't lose anything. If you don't copy it, the only one missing something (the experience) is YOU.

Enjoy!

Of course, if you happen to have some extra money for donations to creators, please do so. If you don't have that, try contributing with a review somewhere or recommending the content, spread the word. Piracy was shown to drive businesses in several occasions by independent and biased corps (trying to show the opposite).

It terrifies me how much effort piracy communities spend on absolving themselves from immorality by projecting it onto other pirates. No one cares about how broken IP law is, they just care about having the moral high ground. And so the laws continue to get more and more broken.

We're all breaking the law (at least in certain jurisdictions). If morality is tied to law, none of us are moral. And when the law comes for pirates, it doesn't care about our petty divisions.

If you want to protect yourself (and creators for that matter), don't attack each other. Attack unjust laws and systems that deny creators fair compensation.

If morality was tied to law, there wouldn't be piracy because the greedy fucks at the top would all be imprisoned.

If morality is tied to law,

How cute how innocent you are.
