I wanna listen to a particular song by an artist who has recently turned pretty nazi. As I generally use Spotify I now refuse to listen to his music in there, esp as it generates earnings. I kinda wanna pirate the music somehow…I’m not gonna as I’m not gonna down a song or two and then store it on my phone like it’s the year 2000. But short story is this me justifying piracy to myself.
Of course. I stand on high moral ground when I chose to pirate.
Economy is broken and anti-consumer. Piracy if the only way I know to balance things of. If I wouldn’t be pirating I would just be letting those economic bullies take advantage of me.
And specially with cultural products there’s another big reason, as I think human culture is to be shared, not sold. I do actually think is inmoral to prevent other humans to freely access anything that could be considered cultural.
