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. 🤑
People do nearly everything in self interest. They want something and they try to get it. There may be some secondary justification, but it boils down to that.
Piracy is absolutely self interest, nobody is arguing against it. Pirates have the choice not to purchase and leave it at that.
