It is always morally acceptable to pirate things made by giant corporations (feddit.org)

No, it's not like stealing a physical item from a store.

"stealing" a digital copy of a movie, tv show or a game is like if the item you're stealing from a store is infinitely copyable. Like the replicator from star trek...or that one episode of Sabrina the teenage witch with that box that can make a perfect copy of everything you put inside of it.

Of course I personally would never pirate anything, no matter how much streaming services increase their prices or how much they crack down on VPN usage to get around geo-restrictions, PIRACY IS BAD AND ONLY BAD PEOPLE DO IT.

I've never pirated anything in my whole life!

Pirates constantly trying to "morally" justify their action is by far the worst part of all pirate forums.

Its embarrassing how many pirates need the validation of strangers on the internet.

Isn't there a philosophy forum that these people could spam instead?

Meanwhile, your morality is just the bandwagon effect.
