Ok, I guess I’ll be the one to do it.

Oh damn, you’re right. I saw it widely reported as a PhD

And a PhD.

“I don’t go to my doctor...thinking I shouldn’t have to pay for their services”

Thanks for teaching me a new idiom

This is the same mentality that keeps drug prices so much higher in the US.

He’s going full on ass grab in that pic too

It’s not likely you’ll have a lid that fits over a pot with a sous vide in it unless you have a purpose made container

The best thing about Google play music is no ads on YouTube.

But from what I’ve heard hypnotist can’t make you do something you don’t want to do. Not that these women wanted this. So idk what’s up with that.

By “you” I mean everyone who keeps using food or similar analogies.

So use that as an example.

That doesn’t imply I condone piracy. I simply don’t care about the bottom line of the studio, even if it is at a record high. I never said it’s okay to do because they are pulling in record profits.

Show me where I argued for “the ethics of piracy.” I think you’ll find that I haven’t done that. I never once said it was ethical or should be done (besides tax payer funded research).

You said the lying didn’t matter. And again the only thing I’ve said to “pirate” is publicly funded research that my tax dollars helped pay for.

You suggested it, not me.

You’re avoiding the question. Take any book of sufficient age and the content creator and production team are all dead and possibly dead for centuries. Who needs to be paid for this ebook besides maybe the person (if out even was a person) who transcribed it to a digital format?

If it’s not a lie that while having record profits piracy is “hurting their ability to invest in creating new content” you must surely be able to point me to an example.

And what of books where everyone who worked in creation and marketing are dead? The bible for example.  

So stealing is ethically not okay, but lying is?
