Learn the difference between human rights and legal rights.

Oh, I'm sure everyone on this board, who cries endless crocodile tears about piracy, is a pirate themselves. There isn't a single person here who has not used an image, music file, video file, text file, or something else without permission at one time in their life.

however, i'm not so retarded that I argue that i'm entitled to do so

The very act of doing it means you think you're entitled to, dummy. When you don't think you're entitled to do something, that's when you
don't do it; not when you do. Good luck in convincing yourself you're not retarded.

make absurd comparisons to human rights

You are the one who started talking about human rights in this thread, twice, not me.

argue that its not illegal

When did I argue it's not illegal?
Quote:

argue that its my right to do so

Again: the act of doing something means you think you have the right to do it, otherwise you simply would not do it.

I do it... and I know i'm wrong for doing it. I know its illegal. I'm not such a weak person that I would deny those simple facts as most seem to do.
|
Again: if you thought it was wrong, you wouldn't do it. And lying to yourself like that
is weak.

The argument is about "right" or "wrong", "Legal" and "illegal". It's wrong. It's illegal. End of story. The law tells you its wrong and that you have no such right. In fact, every developed nation the world agrees with that simple point and with the need to protect intellectual property and its creators as one of the many fundamental mechanisms which drive an economy.

So it's illegal. BFD. Sodomy was illegal in some places a decade ago; still is in many, if not most, parts of the world. Does that make it wrong?
"Legal" is fact. "Wrong" is an opinion or feeling. And - I repeat, to see if it sinks in -
if you genuinely think something is wrong, you simply do not do it.
The fact that you do it demonstrates that you think there is nothing wrong with it, so stop pretending otherwise.
