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

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

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