      Like, the idea landlord thing is also bullshit, sure. Both can be true. Thing about Kant and his "all lies are immoral" thing is: fuck Kant. And it's very disappointing to watch both sides of this act like utter Kants

      I'm not actually rigid about this in daily life, I know plenty of people who torrent huge amounts of shit, I freely admit I used to do so, I still watch lyric videos sometimes instead of buying the song, I too live in society, etc

      The thing being that what the authors are objecting to isn't "leakage" from the system from many small scale actors, it's one very big and powerful actor from the tech sector making a big move to permanently change how the system works

      It's not "Hey sometimes people steal from you but they aren't totally evil people and you have to accept that it happens" It's "We're changing the rules so a bunch of shit just isn't defined as stealing anymore and you have to live with it because you're already rich enough"

      Yep, and that's a conversation worth having, but it's worth having THAT conversation. Not the "you don't deserve this shit" followed by the "look I don't mean the C.O.R.P.S people, we mean the *real* GI JOE people, *obviously*"

      No, honestly, when people are justifying this shit by saying they're meeting a deep need and everything they do is within the bounds of a legal understanding that all IP is our "collective heritage" it's perfectly fair to say "You don't actually need it and it's actually mine"

      It's one thing to not be an asshole to individual people But if someone is fucking you over en masse and justifying it based on lofty principle it's time to talk about other principles

      I've literally been ripped off by someone using my credit card when I was younger and rather than make a big thing of it I was like "Okay, I can afford it, it's not that big a deal, and he probably needed the money more than me"

      That doesn't mean I'm open to discussion over how credit card scamming is generally okay as a career or some professional selling dumps of credit cards numbers on the Internet is just a humanitarian helping people get groceries

      And if in this hypothetical scenario my credit card number were on the Internet and everyone was using it and someone actually got in my face all "Shut up, Arthur, you're not suffering, you're a billionaire and all of the people fucking you over are starving" I'd probably get mad

      Or if someone started going "The important thing about Arthur getting ripped off is we need to start a conversation about universal basic income or, failing that, an end to capitalism" Like Jesus Christ fuck you

          Yeah sure one act of piracy doesn't instantly snatch the retail list price of the book out of the author's bank account The aggregate effect of it is to drive the value of their work closer and closer to zero though
