Just because it is illegal doesn't mean it isn't right. Have you seen the
massive increase in surveillance lately? This is illegal too as it breaks
many of our fundamental rights and takes away our privacy and freedom of
speech!
Unauthorised copying is bad, we agree with you but telling us not to share is
not. It goes against everything we stand for.
I do not "pirate", I prefer creative works which encourage sharing. As for
mainstream works, I purchase them 2nd-hand (which the giants are also trying
to abolish!) so that I don't give them money for another copy. Anybody that
restricts what I can do with something doesn't deserve my money!
I agree that we must create our own libre works that compete with their work
and I agree that we must reduce the demand for unauthorised copies of
creative works.
I defend unauthorised copying only because it is sharing! Nothing more!
I am certain that most of the users here are the same.
