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?

None of the above.

If I want to watch an old film, a bad film, or an old bad film, I pay for it or I don’t watch it.

I’ve bought films on Amazon rather than get off my butt to put the DVD in the player. So you can guess that if I don’t have access to it at the moment that I’ll pay for it. I bought the DVD, I didn’t buy the right to download the movie (unless it was one of those DVDs with a download code included).

I have 0 interest in anime.

Thanks for taking the time to reply and satisfy my mostly aimless curiosity. As mentioned in a sibling, I probably should have gone with "cartoons" or "drivel" or similar for that category, but "anime" is my particular bias for that category of time waster
