Filesharing/Downloading Not wrong, just illegal in some places

@Article in the OP

Here is the basic flaw in that logic.

The large companies create the content. The entire purpose in creating content is in order to pay salaries and bonuses of those who worked to created or advance the company in some say. Thus, keeping people employed.

If, as the article suggest, no one paid for the content, then no one would be employed to create the content. Thus, paying for the content, ensures future content.

What the article is suggesting, is that most people should continue to pay for the content, but those who feel they don't want to pay for said content, shouldn't be required to. However, it certainly isn't fair that some people have to pay for the content when others do not, if we assume that no one really wants to pay for something they could get for free. The ones who don't pay are no more deserving of free content than those who do pay, and as we've mentioned, someone must pay for the content to be created at some point, unless people start working for free. The ones who don't pay have won no contest, and no one has chosen them to be the people who don't have the pay, they chose to do that themselves, and in doing so, they broke the law, cheated the company who created the content, and unfairly benefited from those unfortunates who must pay for content(because once again, someone MUST pay for the content or else it will not be created).

In my opinion, that is immoral, but that isn't a fact.

Morals are always relative to the person judging them.

That said, if the article is trying to paint the publishers and developers who create content, as rich money-grubbing corporations who are too greedy to give their games away for free, and if the article is trying to paint pirating as a noble revolution towards a great anarchist state, then the article is ignorant, plain and simple, and its arguments in that instance would amount to nothing more than an unconvincing justification for amoral and illegal actions committed against the industry that it proclaims to defend.
