Comment on Motion Picture Association Hires FBI Official to Lead Anti-Piracy Efforts
AFKBRBChocolate@lemmy.world 3 months agoAt least now we’ve gotten to the common understanding that it is theft, but you just don’t care. I personally think copyright laws have been good for our society because they’ve allowed people to live off of creating art. You obviously have a different view.
I’m not at all frustrated by the conversation - it’s like discussing car registration or driver’s licenses with a SovCit. In fact, it’s pretty much exactly like that. It’s interesting for me to see how you rationalize your view, but I don’t expect you to change your mind.

Still not theft.

Sure it is. You’re taking something that isn’t yours without paying for it.

The ordinary rules don’t apply to corporations, and we’re suckers if we play by ordinary rules.
That’s why ‘shoplifting’ from Kroger, ‘robbing’ a Bank of America branch, ‘stealing’ cable TV from Xfinity, or ‘pirating’ movies or music from Columbia or Universal is not morally wrong. Quite the opposite, it’s the right thing to do.

Will that’s complete bullshit. What ridiculous rationalization. If you don’t like those places, don’t do business with them. If enough people don’t do business with them, they’ll go away.

I’m not taking anything.
