      There is if it’s information that’s for sale by its creator and what you’re doing is copying it therefore keeping them from profiting from their work.

      Some people do projects out of passion and let people do what they want with their creations, others create to make a living and by not paying them you’re preventing them from doing so.

        they can sell it to anyone who wants to buy it. I am not preventing them at all

            if someone tells you about the biggest play of the Superbowl, are they enslaving the NFL owners?

            get real. sharing stories, songs, tools, and skills is a basic human activity. it’s not immoral.

            trying to prevent it is immoral.

              You can share stories of when you played a game, it doesn’t mean you can copy the game itself so you still have access to it and someone else does too without any compensation going to the creator.

              Consuming the fruit of someone’s labor is “profiting from it”

              The labor needs to exist in order for you to have access to the content you’re pirating so yes in a way it’s forced to exist otherwise this conversation wouldn’t happen in the first place as there would be no content to pirate.

                no one made them produce the game. they could have chosen not to do that, and there would be no consequences at all. it’s not slavery.

                  Then no one should buy anything until we reach a point where no one produces anything because there’s no incentive to.

                    this sentence makes me suspect English is not your first language because it makes no sense.
