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. 🤑
@Feweroptions This is the story that capitalists tell you to justify why it’s okay for them to steal your money.
Land costs nothing, and equipment is just someone else’s labour.
Do note that if a manager or even a CEO does management work, that’s still work and should be rewarded as such.
Also note that CEOs and shareholders are massively overpaid in today’s society. If one person were to not pay them, they’d still be massively overpaid.
Land has value, and thus comes with a price. Equipment doesn’t spring forward from creativity and hard work alone - it also requires materials, and besides that, you have to pay for people’s innovation and hard work when buying equipment.
