    it’s not blatant nonsense. jesus fucking christ you people lack a brain.

    the art/media/fucking whatever intellectual “property” = no intrinsic value, worthless itself

    the labor to create the art = valuable

    the labor to distribute the art, be it through “legitimate” or pirated means = valuable

    it’s that simple. there needn’t even be any long moral/ethical arguments. piracy is righteous because information deserves to be free. there is no way to enforce ownership of information without wanton violence from the state.
