I don’t make money off of the things I pirate.

No but you’re stealing the labor of others who did make it.

They really aren’t. The labor that went into it is already paid in full, even if what the labor created earns for another 20 years, that labor won’t see another dime for it. Can’t steal what isn’t there

It can happen in artistic fields like acting and game dev.

Fun fact: In game dev, at least, your initial payment to make a game is typically an advance on the share of the profits you’ll get. So terms like “$100k to start and then 10%” function more like “10% to a minimum of $100k” in the long term.

The boss pays me for my time, I’m never getting that time back so I’ve sold it and they own it, in fact, they even get to keep the work I produced during that time to go with it.

Low effort argument.

No, the people who made it got paid. Their labor was compensated by their employer.

Buddy, read the room. You’re not changing anyone’s minds by following me from other posts.

I see this a lot on Lemmy. Smaller communities. The human trolls are funnier and sadder.

I’m with you here. My up vote won’t help much, but you’re spot on. This thread is so strange.

“saying true things” is not “soapboxing.”

I’ve probably pirated more total tb than half the people here, but have the intellectual honesty to own what you’re doing.
