It is illegal and immoral. It steals the rightful intellectual property of directors and developers who are only trying to make a living. If you want to be a thief so badly, then rob a federal bank.

It is still theft.
copyright is theft. creators that have had their creations taken away because rich people own their IP now.
It becomes universal knowledge which is what we should all strive to achieve, the right way. When the copyright expires, time is up for any gatekeeping of inspiration.
whats the last copyright expiring that you remember
When items enter public domain.
70 years after the creator death. Stuffs should become public domain once the itrms no longer make significant revenue or no revenue at all
Im asking what specific item do you remember entering public domain? The creator of the Lord of the Rings died in the 70’s and his work is still under copyright.
Winnie the Pooh and the works of Jim Morrison.
So are you morally opposed to all the crap disney has done to ruin the public domain for entire generations?
That seems worse than pirating a disney movie to me.
If I steal your purse, you don’t have a purse anymore. That’s theft.
If I ride the subway without paying, I’m possibly taking away the seat from someone that paid. Not theft but close to it.
If I pirate a movie I would never have paid for anyway, I’m not taking away anything from anyone and I am not even causing lost income for the producer (cause I never would have bought it). Literally no one is worse off due to my actions, the only difference is that I’ve watched a movie.
All theft is wrong, but it is much less sad when someone steals a diamond from Jeff Bezos than it is when someone steals a loaf of bread from someone who is starving.
“all theft is wrong” nah.
If the starving guy from your example stole food from jeff bezos to survive then that is morally correct theft.
I agree with what you’re saying, it could be argued that it’s wrong that the starving guy needs to steal in the first place, but that’s probably semantics.
