Nah, them being evil doesn’t justify stealing from them. Learn to live without their content and focus on other things.
Edit: all of you justifying thievery. Maybe we all really do deserve the wrath of God we are getting.
Morality is not as popular as it once was, that's true. How does it go?
Hard times make strong men.
Strong men make good times.
Good times make weak men.
Weak men make hard times.
That being said we're all sinners. I've made plenty of missteps.
Pirating is NOT stealing. It is sharing files online, it's their choice to make their stuff digital. They could CHOOSE not to.
edit * "If i own a DVD of a movie, and give it to my friend to watch when he wants, is my friend now stealing?" from my response below. Happy to talk about it because i firmly believe they want us to believe this is stealing because our thoughts matter. We must liberate our minds from their thought control
If we are what your user name suggests, then we need to be conscious of what we're doing.
Stealing is stealing, some stealing is justified, and pirating content is stealing. I'm not moralizing about it or any such thing; I've stolen lots of stuff, not proud but I admit it and stopped decades ago. If you want to do it because it's just digital content, that isn't my affair here; all I'm saying is at least admit you're stealing. Labeling shit as different than what it is and not admitting reality is something we rightly skewer others for doing.
ok, i understand what you're saying and that it is true to admit to our wrongdoings. i Have stolen things, and know how it feels. Pirating is sharing files from people who have the content already, and are putting the files online to share to others via download. If i own a DVD of a movie, and give it to my friend to watch when he wants, is my friend now stealing?

Its not their content, its my childhood, Its starwars. We will steal it until they stop making it.
Now you are sounding like a leftist, “they stole my childhood hur dur!”
Just because someone does something evil doesn’t give you a pass to also commit crime.
When we act immorally, we hurt ourselves. When we justify it, we hurt ourselves again.
Apparently people here prefer keeping their comforts rather than than their morality. No wonder our country is so screwed.

And I still do.
This is true. I will look for ways to buy the specific movie I’d like to watch. The rest don’t need my eyes.
By paying you are funding Communists who hate you and are trying to destroy your life and the American way of life.
So live without it then. Or are you so cucked you have to have media produced by commies? I don’t.

I’m pretty sure Jesus would disagree, but that’s between you and him.
