The problem in cases like this is not the copying, but the ability to bypass DRM. Creating and distributing tools that can do that is illegal in the US due to the DMCA. I think there are similar laws in the EU but I’m not sure.
You’re going to get downvoted because pirates, by and large, feel entitled to other people’s labor for free. I’ve been pirating for two+ decades and I’m fully aware that what I’m doing is wrong. It’d be great if people could stop trying to justify their actions.
Piracy is morally right, we don’t owe them anything.
We see that copyright only matters to them if it is convenient, the latest example is training AI on copyrighted works without licenses. But there are many others.
It is also ironic that copyright was originally created to protect small authors from having a big corporation steal their creation and profit from it. Which is still happening. This is also the reason why originally copyright supposed to last 14 years. Because it was thought that 14 years was long enough time to have monopoly on idea
Only after corporations started bribing politicians they extended it to such ridiculous times and completely changed what copyright really was.
You don’t have time to debate, but you found time to write that comment.
It is clear that there’s no good argument about fighting for profits for the people that are stealing from us and.
Anyone who is in California you should vote YES on proposition 40 and NO for 41 and 42 (Trojan horses that are to block 40, because they are afraid of it so much). Yes it is one time, but will open doors for a federal law in the near future.

I’ll just go ahead and downvote you and move on. Not really interested in debating this right now.
LOL, but interested enough to respond.
