Question: When is pirating a game you can buy morally justifiable?

Answer: It isn't.

It's like peeking someone's answers off a test. Maybe you need a good grade. Maybe you know the answers, and you're just checking. Maybe you have a god-given right to a good grade, whether you earned it or not. Or maybe you're just too lazy to do the work yourself, because it's easier to leech off of someone else. It doesn't change the fact that they did the work, and all you're doing is taking advantage of them.

Piracy may not be "theft," but it is contemptible, and it is wrong, and to say otherwise is just juvenile.

Good for these guys.



I believe in honesty, civility, generosity, practicality, and impartiality.
