it's immoral to prevent people from sharing tools or stories or songs or skills. i'm entitled to enjoy whatever someone wants to share with me.
No you're not if it's infringing on someone's copyright and you would agree with me if you ever created something you were trying to sell to make a living.
copyright is an immoral government-enforced monopoly.
Immoral?
How do creatives make money if everyone is free to copy their work?
by selling it or taking commissions.
They're already doing it, you keep saying it's ok not to compensate them for their work and to simply share it by copying the files without any involvement with the original creator.
yes. this isn't a contradiction at all.
Ok, so you're either an idiot or a troll.
Goodbye
