Dude, in this example you’re the employer stealing from the worker!

The only thing wrong here is people that are unable to admit that what they’re doing has consequences on the people who created the media they’re pirating and using mental gymnastic like I’ve never seen before to justify their choice and to feel morally justified to do it.

Separate example. Ignore everything else we’ve been talking about. I’m trying to illustrate where you stand on morality.

Would it be wrong to steal from the till?

I suspect you’d say yes, which means we have fundamental, irreconcilable differences in how we view the entire concept of morality. Which then, relating back to piracy, means we will never see eye to eye because we disagree about the most fundamental aspects of the argument.

It’s an irrelevant example in this conversation because you’re reversing the roles.

It’s not related to piracy at all, it’s just an illustration of your personal views. There are no roles. It’s not an analogy.
