Stop being a poorfag, user.

bane?

Has the academic world reached a consensus on the morale behind this matter?
Why haven't they invented a new word for it other than pirating (which is an even more evil and stronger word than stealing)?
Should we call the act of unauthorized copying and spreading of digital objects for something else, like "duplicating" or "duping"?
Would I want my artistic digital creations to be duped?
If enough people gave me some sort of benificial encouragement - yes... But ideology speaking, I'd prefer if we all could agree over an arrangement between the entertainment industry andthe rest of the society, in the same mold as has happened between the publishers of literature and the libraries.

And I can't help but wonder what would happen to the porn industry if a deal was settled. Would it becomed the biggest in the world?

>(which is an even more evil and stronger word than stealing)

Calling it "pirating" might've been the worst possible choice for the industry. Pirates are cool, everyone loves them. TPB made their logo a pirate ship with open sails cruising the high seas of data and everyone fell in love with the idea of being a rebel and getting free stuff.

Would've worked better to discourage it if they gave it a derogatory name instead.

I don't care either way though. Piracy is dying off quickly with the rise of easy access media, and movies are breaking records every fucking year so its not like the industry is suffering.

A few weeks from now Trump will sign a new copyright bill into law reclassifying filesharing as sexual assault. Calling it now.

You wanted to watch a movie, now you're the big bad boogyman the normies are afraid of. Have fun with that deplorables :^)

Reduce ticket prices in cinemas, include more cool shit in the physical copies like posters and booklets, find a way to monetize piracy somehow so it's like Youtube.

how about no
how about you stop committing crimes because the world isn't providing everything you want on a plate, nigger

cyber police is on their way

Reminder

Combating piracy can be accomplished by giving people viable alternatives. Music piracy is dead in the water now that spotify and other streaming services exist to replace Napster. Game piracy died with Steam. Movie piracy exists because theaters are miserable fucking places that cost too much and surround you with rude assholes all the time. Improve the theaters, offer things that can't be offered at home, and people will come in greater numbers. The industry doesn't want to take responsibility and improve, it just wants the government to use the feds as an attack dog to go after innocent people. Fuck every single one of those greedy shitstains.

Hahahahahaha
I will never, ever stop pirating movies, music and video games. Wouldn't even stop doing it if blurays and albums costed 1$. And guess what, I'm not even American and no one cares about piracy here so you can do it as much as you like

combating piracy can be accomplished by fining your ass or this guy's ass gaming piracy, music piracy and movie piracy are very much alive, you're delusional

M'law and order

>lmao it's just copying data!

and yet Snowden was called a traitor and had to flee for his life for doing just that

Come on it's just rearranging zeros and ones on your computer, how is that a crime?

...

Listen to me right now:
The only solution is to make movies and video games with multi million dollar budgets and release them to the public for free.

>don't mind me. Just stealing these quantum strings
