I feel piracy today is pretty morally excused.

>>figass+O
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.

What about things that aren't even available anymore any way but 'pirating'? I can think of two movies in recent times that just don't exist to rent or buy from any service, likely due to disputes of some nature.

This isn’t as tricky as you think it is!

You don’t watch, read, listen to, play, etc. those things.

>>paulco+sm1
So you let some corpo decide what you're allowed to watch or read?

I used to take the "this content is not available in your region" when trying to buy a kindle book as an excuse to pirate. If they don't want my money, they clearly don't care.

Now I stopped caring altogether though.

No, I decide what I watch and read.

There’s plenty of things to watch and read. If something isn’t available legally to me, I’ll find something else.
