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.

    Money isn’t finite either. States and national banks create an artificial scarcity for it because (non-digital) goods and services you can buy with it are finite.
    But since you can create unlimited copies from digital data, the intrinsic value of a copy is 0, therefore piracy isn’t stealing.

      Abundant and infinite mean two different things though. Money is abundant, not infinite. If you had unlimited money, as you said, it’s intrinsic value would be zero
