Sharing information with your fellow human is righteous.

The notion of private ownership over ideas and creations is completely artificial and was enshrined into law in order to prioritize profit over the spread of knowledge and culture.

Do not let corporations and copyright holders cuck you. Pirate everything you can. Share your booty with anyone interested in it that you IRL.

Remember, piracy is not a crime, it's an act of rebellion against oppression. In a world where information is power, piracy is the great equalizer.

piracy is a serious crime. misusing "piracy" word is retarded, as well as proud posing as some kind of resistance fighter piratus moralius

Paying used to give you a minimum standard of quality you couldn't get making the product yourself or it would save you enough time to make it worth it.
>quality
Paid content is barely any better than free content and in some cases actively worse by revoking licenses after a few years without giving you a way to buy the product permanently.
>time
Piracy is often faster and more convenient than buying through appropriate channels. It also means you don't have to supply banking info and make an account for a service you're only going to use once, saving more time and keeping data more private.
The only moral justification for piracy is buying a digital good then pirating a copy to keep as a backup. There's also a justification to temporarily pirate something to use as a demo but that requires moral self regulation to not turn it into pure stealing.

piracy isn't "stealing", but you are still a nigger.
it takes real, tangible resources to create ANYTHING, whether digital or not.
when you circumvent paying for digital goods, you obviously aren't stealing those past resources the creators expended, but your nigger behavior reduces sales regardless, which discourages creators to make high-quality work in the future.
In the end, if everyone was just as much of a nigger as you, our world wouldn't be full of fun stuff.

>>102945580
For single songs, just search intitle:"index of" name of song mp3. If that doesn't work, I find most of what I want on IRC in channels where I can type "@search songname" and bots who have the title will respond and XDCC it to me on demand.

For full albums, I just use USENET and an indexer.

If I really cannot find it anywhere else, I just rip the audio from Youtube.

courses/learning material, creativity/productivity software, mobile games/apps, modern arcade games (Teknoparrot/JConfig stuff), PC games, VR games, ROMS, emulator ISOs, ebooks, audiobooks, magazines, movies, TV shows, comic books, music, leaked source code.

If you don't like any recently made things in one of these categories, you can always pirate stuff produced back in an era that suites your taste.

[Verse 2: Robbie Rotten & Kids]
We're sailing away (Set sail!)
Adventure awaits on every shore

We float on our boat (The boat!)
Until it's time to drop the anchor
Then hang up our coats (Aye-aye!)
Until we sail again!

You're arguing that your every single thought should be public knowledge and that people should have access to your thoughts at all times in order to ensure you are not hindering the spread of knowledge and culture? You own nothing, not even your own thoughts.

The fallacy here is thinking you need justification for it to begin with. It's piracy, you have absolutely 0 moral obligations to participate in digital capitalism.
>B-but then we won't get any more new stuff and the internet as we know it will die because no one is paying!!

Good. I'm still waiting on this to come true by the way so any faggot who says it owes me a detailed explanation as to why it's all still worse than ever.

I justify of specific thing and provide arguments in support.

I never said "anything I say is justified". You're making no logical sense. Is that your reasoning always works? Life must be tough.
>>
>>102944523
I don't care about morality, I want to own things. Getting them for free is just a bonus, if it's a small artist/dev I'll pay. I still don't have a steam account because you don't own things there.
