In the articles this is being claimed:
You say that it's immoral that Z-Library is illegal. The purpose of Z-Library is arguably to provide people with copyrighted content for free. I.E Other people's creations.
Please tell me what important context I'm missing. To me it honestly just seems like you want someone else's stuff for free and are just brining up morally in a misguided way to achieve that. Wanting free shit is great, I support that. Pirate all you want. But it isn't about morality.
P.S. isn't bringing up the straw man fallacy a straw man fallacy itself? Some people have started to say that every argument they disagree with is essentially a straw man fallacy.
The article clearly mentions my use of Z-Library is to inspect before I buy. Now, because of being misrepresented twice, the discussion ends here.
I have already addressed that in my original comment.
Go to a store.
Just because you wanted to inspect people's creations in a way that suites you better doesn't make banning piracy fundamentally immoral.
Sounds great. It's honestly no use arguing with idiots.
