      Its still illegal. Don’t pretend your actions hold some sort of moral high ground. If you disagree with the law go change it.

        But why respect a stupid law that isn’t really enforced anyway?

          You don’t have to respect any laws. That’s your progitive. However, don’t claim a moral high ground

            I see what you’re getting at, but I think ‘moral high ground’ might not be the phrase you’re looking for.

            Laws and morals are explicitly different. That’s why juries exist, so that a law may be put against the morals of a situation and the morals may prevail if need be.

            Breaking the law isn’t necessarily immoral. It’s just illegal. So it isn’t like someone breaking the law is seeking to take the moral high ground in the first place, nor does that mean that someone who only ever follows the law always has the moral high ground. Lawful-evil does exist.

              Your argument falls though when you start personally benefiting from you pirated media. If you don’t want to support companies don’t watch or use there products and don’t give them your money

                My argument was that you can’t claim the moral high ground based on legality alone. I understand that nuance exists in the context, but moral high ground does not come from whether or not it’s legal.

            I don’t care about the moral high ground. Large corporations can go fuck themselves, seeing as they fuck us every day.
