I feel piracy today is pretty morally excused.

I don’t. I know there are things that people expect me to pay money for and I feel bad about taking things that I know I shouldn’t.

And I don’t subscribe to the “but my HTTP requests” rationalization that’s so common here on HN.

Out of personal curiosity, how far does this go for you? Would you download (without paying for)

- an old film (the Maltese Falcon, Wizard of Oz, Wings [1927 silent film])

- a really bad film (Santa Claus Conquers the Martians)

- something you already own but don't have access to at the moment

- anime

- none of the above?

When buying isnt owning, then piracy is ethical.

Its gone too fucking long towards extreme copyright and gimmee programs like the DMCA. Piracy is that counteracting force.

Pirate it all. No other lever can make these companies correct.
