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. 🤑

    That’s quite separate, though.

    You’re saying that stuff needs to be good to survive the (inevitable) losses to piracy - I don’t disagree, but that complete beside the point.

    Creators can open-source their stuff and they choose not to - almost like they need to pay rent, too
