Convo about piracy with my friend
(lemmy.dbzer0.com)
(i’m also gonna ambush my friends about Signal on sunday and coerce them to download it to get rid of the green bubbles)
Look guys, you don't need to justify your piracy. There is nothing ethically wrong with pirating media.
Anticonsumer practices are justification enough. If someone has a childish response of "uR sTeaLiNg!!", give them an equally childish retort and tell them to eat your farts.
You pirate to preserve media.
I pirate because I like pissing off billion dollar conglomerates.
We are not the same.
I pirate cause I can 🤷♂️ I spend a lot of money on media and gaming, sometimes I'm not $60 interested though lol.
I am with this guy... Piracy generates some of the best corpo cope content
Priceless seeing them getting twisted INA not about it with all of their lawyers and can't do shot about some poor sucker just watching it without laying daddy the tax hehe
I’d argue that indeed we do as a community need to justify our actions. Mainstream knowledge and media label us as close to thieves and criminals. People need to realize we just want to share bits and bytes across the internet, and we are stewards of media preservation and freedom of information. As cracking down piracy become normalized, it’s even more important to have a voice in society, and reassure people that what we’re doing is morally grounded
