Piracy, in today’s context of unauthorized sharing of digital content, is wrongly condemned as immoral theft. However, it is not piracy itself that is immoral. Rather, it is the greed-driven laws and practices that censor knowledge and creative works to maximize profits. At its core, piracy is about sharing information and creative works with others, which should be seen as a moral good. 🤑
I just told you… They may get the money for the job, but if the industry they work on isn’t generating any profits because everyone is sharing the content, then the industry dies and so does the demand for these specialized workers.
Is that too hard to process?
The reason why those industries aren’t dead is precisely because pirating is illegal and a criminal activity which makes most average consumers want to get the products legally.
If those industries die that’s great. The only ones left will be the people who actually want to be there rather than the ones who are only after money.
We have a really easy example. I want the social media industry to die so here I am on Lemmy. If Facebook, Reddit, Twitter, and so on die that is a positive. Then the only thing left will be the free and open fediverse run by volunteers.
So, do you think the developers that created Lemmy don’t get paid real money from real industries that actually monetize their products?
the industry is doing just fine though, where are these signs that sharing is hurting the industry to such a degree?
sharing is not really illegal you are misinformed. profiting from uploading is a problem in some states but thats pretty much it.
i really dont appreciate your tone,you are getting upset for no good reason and for such a trivial subject… have a great day.
The industry is doing fine BECAUSE piracy is illegal and it is stealing.
If it wasn’t a crime, everyone would do it and industries would collapse.
Holy shit, I’m really walking you through this one.
