Piracy, in today’s context of unauthorized sharing of digital content, is wrongly condemned as immoral theft. However, it is not piracy itself that is immoral. Rather, it is the greed-driven laws and practices that censor knowledge and creative works to maximize profits. At its core, piracy is about sharing information and creative works with others, which should be seen as a moral good. 🤑

    Bro, please go back and read what being libertarian means.

    Being libertarian doesn’t mean you get to do whatever the fuck you want. In fact, libertarians protect free market and property.

    A libertarian would never agree with stealing someone’s private effort. Never.

      Again, piracy is not stealing it is copyright infringement. I don’t believe ideas are property so I don’t believe in protecting them. It’s not that complicated.

        Whatever world you envision, I’m glad I’m not part of it. Imagine a world in which inventors have no incentive to create because their ideas get stolen in the blink of an eye, leaving them bankrupt.

        No thanks.

          We already live in a world with copyright law and it’s a shitshow so how much worse can it be? Have fun owning nothing and being nickle and dimed by subscriptions.
