Hi guys, first of all, I fully support Piracy. But Im writing a piece on my blog about what I might considere as “Ethical Piracy” and I would like to hear your concepts of it.

Basically my line is if I have the capacity of paying for something and is more convinient that pirating, ill pay. It happens to me a lot when I wanna watch a movie with my boyfriend. I like original audio, but he likes dub, so instead of scrapping through the web looking for a dub, I just select the language on the streaming platform. That is convinient to me.

In what situations do you think is not OK to pirate something? And where is 100 justified and everybody should sail the seas instead?

I would like to hear you.

    All piracy is ethical because Intellectual Property is a lie.

    I will pirate from megacorps and indies, anyone who sets up a demand based distribution system for products.

    The only products I will not pirate are those that have a needs based distribution system and are finite.

      Question about this: if there’s no IP, what is the motivation for creating media or game content?

          But even people who like making stuff would be able to devote more time to their work if they were given the means to sustain themselves through their work without needing to work another job, wouldn’t they?
