What you're saying is illogical. You can copy everything. Almost everything. You can copy software secrets, machine secrets, copy research and development. But where are we going to go if everyone started doing that? Anarchy? You'll probably lose your job in such a world. I don't know what you're working but there is a high probability you would be affected. There is no moral ground for piracy. Piracy and theft has never produced anything good. It will only make things worse, believe me.
This is an idealized world you imagine. It doesn't exist and will never exist. Most non-profits are underfunded these days. Nobody wants to pay for stuff voluntarily if they don't need to. In a world you idealize, any capitalist asshole will always win. So why would everyone else grant them that and offer stuff for donations while they won't? It won't work, it has never worked.
Besides, I doubt that companies make suffiecient money from you. You probably spend way less with your method. You're just trying to justify it by saying you only support the good. But what you actually do is make it more expensive for me who fairly and legally obtains the media. I'm paying for your piracy.
Time is money and money is time. That directly implies that IP has a price. We can't have anything good anymore because people like you don't understand that.
There will always be parasitic people on this world and they think they're in the right too. Can't do anything about it. Do what you want. But know that you have no right to complain about terrible services or terrible movies if you do so.
God I hate self righteous types who probably know work rules and safety by heart and snitch on everyone. Just relax a bit sometimes. Do something fun. Break some shit.
If we all played by the rulebook imagine how fucking lame and boring it would be
Mr/Mrs monk rules and regulations protector of intellectual property. You are no fun at all
This has nothing to do about me or my morals. It's about where I see the industry now and where I want to see it in the future. It's just a fact that piracy won't do anything if not worse. You can only change something for the better if money flows (in the right direction). Stealing will just cause companies to double down. Basic economy.
