    What’s ridiculous about it? Morals are subjective.

    If I copy a movie that came out 80 years ago and everyone involved with it is now dead, who am I supposedly ‘stealing’ from or depriving of anything? Some faceless corporation who claims ownership over someone else’s work? How about cases where a movie or show isn’t available to buy in your area? Who’s getting deprived of anything there?

    You can keep your morals to yourself where they belong.

      I am not arguing a moral stance. I’m talking about providing disingenuous reasoning. I don’t know how many ways I can explain this man. I am saying the reasons people are giving are bad and don’t stand to scrutiny, and they should just stop lying to themselves and everyone around them. I don’t care if you’re pirate or not. I have made no moral judgment.

      I run a Plex server with a dozen friends, what do you think my stance is on the Pirate Bay? The difference between me and the people I’m describing is I take ownership of what I do. I’m not under any illusions. You shouldn’t be either. Just own your behavior, be an adult.
