Okay, I'll take you up on your offer. Can you please set up a server where I can download a disk image of your desktop computer? By one press of the button, I can have a copy of your "house"... no harm to you, right?
Let me just have every piece of data you own... just a harmless copy... just because I want and value it.
It's a lot different when it's your things people want versus other people's things.
Either don't pirate, or pay for your media. People shouldn't steal.
Maybe they should be patient and wait until the films come into the public domain if they're too cheap to pay.
He argues that somehow piracy caused innovation in the music industry, and thus the piracy of hollywood will somehow usher in a new era of innovation in streaming video. In some respects its true that Napster brought about innovation in digital music... BUT IT HASN"T STOPPED PIRACY!
There is a ton of more streaming options today, which is great for lawful netizens, we do have a lot of great options. But that doesn't excuse pirates from ethical obligations.
You don't have a right to someone's property just because you think you should.
Maybe I should just take refuge in your fancy-house just because I think it would be morally just because you have a nicer house than I do.
Thats essentailly the argument pirates make, and it doesn't hold water.
