Question for those who find piracy immoral:
Are there any examples of times you'd consider it morally acceptable?
For example: I've been wanting to watch an anime from my childhood and I decided I was gonna buy the DVDs, because I wanted good quality.
New dvds can't be found, not all of them.
Preowned have absurd prices, potentially from people that bought them to sell them at higher prices since they are still sealed. Buying those "preowned" ones won't profit anyone who worked on the anime or publishers.
Or another: Old ass videogames that are not sold anymore, again only found pre owned at absurd prices, again no one who worked on the game would see a cent of what you pay those borderline scalpers.
Are those morally acceptable cases for piracy?
@raccoon is there anyone on fedi (thats not from m.s ) that finds piracy immoral ? hahaha
If you watch your movies from a streaming site, then you aren't the one doing the pirvacy.
Think smart, outsource your piracy to someone else.

The series I'm looking for is obscure enough by now that even streaming sites don't have it.
Closest I could find was one that didn't have all episodes and the ones they do have are at garbage quality.
I'm talking 80 mega for an episode.

Preaching to the choir bestie.

And I'm specifically looking for it in Italian, because nostalgia would hit different if I watched it in a language I didn't as a kid.
I should get the mangas too for the full experience along with the mangas from the same author, like Captain Harlock for example.
@mangeurdenuage@shitposter.world
Yeah, I agree with pretty much everything here.
Piracy is immoral, as theft, murder and kidnap etc with the help of a boat is immoral.
No, it’s factually illegal but the morality of it is up to debate.
@Suiseiseki@freesoftwareextremist.com
Well yeah fair enough, some countries are a bit more relaxed. But can you actually call it piracy if it's legal?
@raccoon @Cruthachail oh wow .. never heard of that .. captain harlock , on the other hand !! my parents told me abt it hahahahah
@fiore@brain.worm.pink @Cruthachail@miruku.cafe
"my parents told me abt it hahahahah"
This kills the millennial.
@raccoon @Cruthachail teehee tbf my parents arent that old theyre among the youngest parents of ppl my age that i know
@fiore@brain.worm.pink @Cruthachail@miruku.cafe
Doesn't make it better :P
@mangeurdenuage@shitposter.world @Suiseiseki@freesoftwareextremist.com
Yes, because it's morally wrong to not help someone in that kind of situation.
