Hi guys, first of all, I fully support Piracy. But Im writing a piece on my blog about what I might considere as “Ethical Piracy” and I would like to hear your concepts of it.
Basically my line is if I have the capacity of paying for something and is more convinient that pirating, ill pay. It happens to me a lot when I wanna watch a movie with my boyfriend. I like original audio, but he likes dub, so instead of scrapping through the web looking for a dub, I just select the language on the streaming platform. That is convinient to me.
In what situations do you think is not OK to pirate something? And where is 100 justified and everybody should sail the seas instead?
I would like to hear you.
I would say the motivation to create is simply to create. Dwarf Fortress authors allowed donations but until they had health issues did not outright sell the game. Even now it’s optional though as only the UI is sold, base game is still free.
I would argue that if your motivation to do anything is money, then whatever you create is always going to be inferior.
