    because the flipside is companies wanting to nickel and dime you to oblivion for a subpar piece of media, or even hardware these days.

      We’re talking about whether the community has a nuanced discussion about the ethics of piracy or not. What you said just now is another attempt at a false dichotomy, so if you’re trying to represent the community you’re kind of proving my point.

        im presenting you with a simple, common but strong argument for it.

        you can choose to engage with it with nuance or, apparently, attack me.

        you won’t agree with every set of ideals out there, that doesn’t mean it isnt tought out.

          Your argument is not relevant to anything I said. So I don’t want to engage with it because it derails the discussion here, which is not about the ethics of piracy but about the community’s openness to discussing it.

            yes it is. you just dont want to have that discussion.

            the community will rightfully shun people parroting the copyrights holders arguments and bad faith arguing, because thats not the place to be if you hate piracy.
