No, it’s like saying don’t use nestle products at all if you want to claim to be moral.
You’re arguing that you are moral by not paying for it while still chomping down on nestle chocolate. (And yes I know your follow up “but it’s still there I didn’t steal” that’s not the point)
I’m saying you can pirate, but you can’t also claim to be moral while doing it because the only moral option is to not use it at all. Go ahead, do what you like, but by using it at all its immoral.
The Baker baked the bread. If the baker is so evil and treats his workers so terribly, you aren’t exactly in the moral place by still eating his bread.
Actually I’m arguing that paying for it is immoral, and that I’m moral by not paying for it.
Consuming a product that you have not paid for is not inherently immoral, regardless of whether it’s bread or a movie.
Basically my argument is: it is immoral to needlessly funnel wealth towards billionaires, when that wealth could be distributed towards those who aren’t billionaires.
