    What do you mean, “at it again”. If you don’t want me to make inferences about what you said, you want me to just stick exactly to your words and forget my own understanding of the world, what is left to do but call it but vague moralizing?

    People can “act like a grown up and accept not having everything always”… or they can pirate. You can not like that, but that is an objective possibility that they have in our world. Just as you don’t seem to be moved by the idea that poorer people want entertainment too, I’m not particularly morally shaken by massive media companies like Netflix not getting as much money as they possibly could. Especially when people cannot afford it, why does it matter if they still watch it or not? Netflix can’t lose money that it would never get to begin with.

    I could say that this sort of moralizing seems to come from the assumption that the market is fair and just but you are probably gonna whine at me that “I never said it was”, and if that’s how you want to go about this conversation I don’t think there’s much a point in continuing. You said what you said, I said what I said and that’s it.
