    Wouldn’t an ancom not believe in ownership — and therefore think piracy is not inherently immoral? Obviously they believe in community distribution and mutual aid so they would believe that if people involved with the creation of those media were struggling they would help those people, but not necessarily through the proxy of buying the movie but through general mutual aid.

      Hence my “under current circumstances” where people do need to make a living under capitalist conditions. But indeed neither would consider it immoral in terms of ownership, especially since digital media has a duplication cost near zero.

        Interesting.

        so you’re basically saying an example of dbzer0 leaning more individualist is that they aren’t explicit enough about encouraging people to buy indie films made by struggling artists? (instead of pirating)

          Yes that would be a reasonable summary.
