Its not a minute detail lmao, it throws the entire argument. In one instance you’re stealing a physical good. In another you’re making a one-to-one copy of a piece of information. Information that exists on MY physical storage medium, using MY bits that I physically own.
You specifically chose that metaphor knowing this. Don’t try and gaslight me with that shit.
Just because you’re wrong doesn’t mean you have to argue in bad faith, sweety. <3
Just say you’re ok with stifling creative people because you don’t believe the deserve to live off of their hard work.
Just admit you’re too dense to see the difference between pirating a piece of media owned by a corporation who’s no longer giving money to the artists for said creation, and a smaller artist/group of artists who survive directly off of their work.
But yeah tell me more about how the indie dev who spends hundreds a month on tiny band camp artists doesn’t give a shit about creative because I refuse to pay $40 for flacs of a classic rock album when indie artists can do the same thing for $8. Despite the $8 purchase actually going to artists and not record label execs/shareholders.
Furthermore, you growing fruit takes resources and time. I can make thousands of copies of a file in a single keystroke. Again, the more apt metaphor would be me buying fruit, using that to grow my own, and giving that away. Even then its not exact.
Look if you’re just going to take single lines from a multi-paragraph reply out of context to fuel your bad faith arguments, you can go bite one.
The fact that you repeatedly call me a leech is very telling. It says to us that you’re interested in finding excuses to put strangers in a box so you can feel better about yourself.
Maybe go out and find something about yourself to actually like, instead of this upstanding citizen bullshit, because its a very thin veneer.
I don’t argue with people to justify my actions, silly goose, I do it to satisfy my neurotic compulsion to tell dipshits why they’re wrong. Because unlike you, I know my faults. <3
