I am not talking theory, I am talking ethics. The very real ethical ramifications of violating artists' rights. You cannot dispute the points about ethics that I have put forth, so you instead fall back on the defense that thievery is wide-spread. The majority of a people perpetrating a wrong does not make that wrong any less heinous, or make any of the negative ramifications of those actions any less negative.
By yoav's logic, slavery would not have been slavery, or morally reprehensible, so long as the people who committed it did not believe it to be so.
And that defense is his entire defense, as he has jettisoned every other point he has ever tried to make in this thread. Steadfast refusal to acknowledge the negative impact of one's actions is not something I can ever respect or condone.

i never denied the existence of copyrights, how is that even a point?
ethics are theory, and they are subjective.
again you go off topic and incorrectly extrapolate my views into slavery? you're a weird guy, but since you went there copyright was invented by some of the biggest slave owners in known history. even so this thread has nothing to do with slavery.
i have no defence against you because we're talking about two different things. i'm talking about the real world, and you're not. i think it's characteristic of you to announce "yoav is talking about this and that" and incorrectly at that because you don't understand what i'm talking about, so you invent a fictional yoav to argue against. it's quite fascinating watching you though and since you're not actually responding to what i'm saying but instead to your limited grasp of the concepts i've introduced and your fictional demonization of me, then why should you be slowed down waiting for a response from me that you don't read or understand?
i give you full permission to continue the discussion you've been having with yourself, with yourself, and find it very entertaining.
