I felt like it was pretty clear that I was not talking about things as small as pirating a couple movies and games from multimillion dollar companies?
Is it not piracy? Please clarify the difference to me?
piracy is distributing copies of publicly available media.
accessing a private device and making copies of personal content inside is illegal and unethical.
making a copy of Frozen is not.
I feel like I’ve been pretty clesr that this sort of example is not what I’m talking about…
than you are not talking about piracy and this is not the place for that discussion.
I don’t see why I need your permission? I feel like talking about when it is and isn’t ethical to reproduce data is appropriate in this sort of community.
its not piracy.
this is /c/piracy
you dont need my permission you are just making a fool of yourself by trying to call piracy what is not piracy again in /c/piracy
The ethics of data reproduction have been discussed in piracy communities for decades. It’s a central topic to communities centered around data reproduction. Pretending otherwise is stupid.
Am I? Or are you arguing in bad faith on a topic you didn’t bother to read the context of?
the irony :)
best of luck with everything. i tried
Keep telling yourself that champ.
Arguably software, films and music aren’t “publically available” in the sense that they’re only conditionally available to the public (ignoring piracy).
But okay, lets take the pornographic example. Say they occasionally sell nude photos to acquaintances too. Now the photos are in some sense “publicly available” in the sense that some people can buy them. Is it now suddenly okay to pirate this media? If so, then why?
Did you not read my very first example where I claimed almost exactly that. What have you been thinking I was talking about?
again, not what we were talking about.
Feel free to clarify why? At what point does my example become what we’re talking about? Is it the number of people the content is sold for? Is it the amount of money the content is sold for? Enlighten me.
i already did. you are choosing to not listen at this point.
