Reply to comment by specialspartan_ in Separation Between Music and Artist? by BBoi138

You don't need art to live. It isn't food, or water, or shelter. Your desire to have it does not give you a right to steal it, regardless of the artist. There is no justification for it morally or ethically. Your inability to afford it or unwillingness to support the artist, does not give you carte blanche to steal it.

P. S. Thanks for supporting grocery theft and squatter's rights.

So you agree with me then that stealing food if you are starving is different from stealing music you don't need but want? We could argue the ethics of homelessness, but we aren't. We are talking about piracy of unnecessary things. You can rationalize it however you want, but it is theft.

Different and more justified, yes, but that's not a contradiction to anything I've said nor does it reinforce any argument you've made. Good talk.
