Piracy is Good: The Moral Imperative of Sharing Knowledge
Piracy is Good: The Moral Imperative of Sharing Knowledge
Nature Wants Information to Be Free.
Piracy, in today’s context of unauthorized sharing of digital content, is wrongly condemned as immoral theft. However, it is not piracy itself that is immoral. Rather, it is the greed-driven laws and practices that censor knowledge and creative works to maximize profits. At its core, piracy is about sharing information and creative works with others, which should be seen as a moral good. 🤑

I'm not going to argue for/against the article. However,
we need laws and policies promoting open access and sharing of knowledge, not maximizing profits through contrived scarcity
As a fan of FOSS (and the Open Source community in general), I completely agree with this. Sharing knowledge can do a lot of good.
Isn't there already laws for that? Fair use being one of them. And I read about some right to archiving too. Which allows archive.orgs efforts.
