/r/Piracy is just a bunch of memes, and this community actively talks about piracy, it’s ethical philosophy and taking control over your media. There are people who pirate everything regardless of circumstances, but for the most part, I’d argue its people who have been burnt by companies whom they trusted.
I disagree that it actually talks about it. Basically either you join the echo chamber saying that there are no ethical problems with piracy, or you’re downvoted to oblivion. That makes the discussion redundant and uninteresting.
We’re talking about whether the community has a nuanced discussion about the ethics of piracy or not. What you said just now is another attempt at a false dichotomy, so if you’re trying to represent the community you’re kind of proving my point.
Your argument is not relevant to anything I said. So I don’t want to engage with it because it derails the discussion here, which is not about the ethics of piracy but about the community’s openness to discussing it.
Idk if it’s still there, but devs of lemmy mentioned wanting to make a place you could actually talk about piracy. I buy things when I can DRM free, and when I can’t I’m really glad this community exists

They can do whatever they want, it’s their community. Just don’t tell me there’s a nuanced discussion going on there.

Hey there’s long fledged out discussions on the nuances of… how very ethical piracy is
Piracy is good actually; the only people who disagree are squares who will never own capital of their own, and actual capitalist leeches
Yep. I got wrecked trying to discuss the nuanced differences between piracy and theft.
Decided then and there to just block all discussions/communities on the topic. If they can’t leave the wind-tunnel, they can keep it to themselves.
Some people have to jump through a lot of moral hoops to justify piracy instead of accepting there could be any possible bad points about it
Exactly.

Because otherwise it would get instantly banned. You don’t host piracy communities on social media, it’s well known
