    I’m quite aware there’s some silly laws written by those same billionaire’s lobbies and passed by their politicians.

    Copying something is quite obviously not stealing from someone.

    But again, stealing back some of the wealth the billionaires have stolen from us is morally good. If you’re not stealing from them, you’re stealing from your family to support your family’s further deprivation.

      It absolutely is stealing. You’re taking something that is not yours, something that someone else owns and charges money for.

      Mental gymnastics.

        And did you at any point ask yourself why they own these things? Why Netflix the corporate entity owns media it did not produce while stiffing the people that did out of just compensation? Or how that information slightly complicates the otherwise simple nature of property and theft?

        The only mental gymnast here is you bud. The simple fact is, labor creates value, and Netflix has no part in that. I doubt they even put up any of their own capital in producing these shows.
