#152Dislike this kind of story appearing in HN. We're all well educated people with high earning potential who should be capable of buying movies, not using our talent to rip them off. I'd hate to see HN develop a bad reputation because of stuff like this.
Upvoted to combat the lack of caring about honesty. Even if you don't have the money, stealing isn't justified.

#153For a news site frequented by software engineers, many of whom receive six figure salaries related to the creation and sale of software, this feels in very bad taste. Movie staff and music artists deserve to have their copyright respected. If you don't like it, just don't watch/listen. It's plainly simple.

Sometimes, we've paid for a movie or TV show and the delivery mechanism is shit. I have absolutely watched content off TPB that I have paid for multiple copies of.

That's a rationalization. You're also supporting others violating copyright when you do this. It's wrong and I think you know that.

I'd pay if they Try being in not-the-USA and paying for content. Add "Linux" in there and you can forget about it.
So you're saying its up to content makers to support every niche OS, otherwise niche OS users are entitled to steal their work?
Yeah "non-USA" is a "niche".

if "Movie staff and music artists" feel like they aren't being paid enough, they should lobby the industry and demand more money. Recording artists earn less than 10% of album sales. The industry pays $20 million to have Johnny Moviestar in their movie. But somehow there's not enough for "movie staff" ? That's not a problem attributable to piracy.

But this still doesn't justify violating copyright. Think about how you feel when someone violates GPL. How is this any different?

Oh make no mistake I am contemplating piracy if only because it's unfair/immoral/irrational (pick your favourite) that the people securing themselves such huge income are the keyholders to almost all legal distribution of media. We need a Richard Stallman for media. (edit: added 'legal')
So you steal from people and then claim they're immoral for not giving you their stuff at a price/convenience level of your choosing?
No, I choose the content based on it's cost vs value.
