75% of the anti-piracy discussions I see rarely blame companies like Nintendo or Disney and always try to talk about how piracy is immoral, and you should feel “dirty” for doing it. My question is why do people seem to hate those who pirate more than the bad practices of mega-corporations or the fact that they don’t want to preserve their media?

    Whoosh. Clearly I lack the reading comprehension to understand. I just need to look at the facts harder and then I’ll become vegan.

      Noone said you couldn’t comprehend it, but that you chose not to. You haven’t replied to any of the contradictions they pointed out either, which makes it look like you either aren’t reading the replies or you think for some reason they dont require a rebuttal.

        They don’t require rebuttal because they weren’t related to the original statement, and actually only serve to reinforce it along with the rest of this brigade.

        The question is why do people hate media pirates and I made a comparison to vegans hating omnivores. That it’s a moral high road and those on the high road spew shit down to those who aren’t on it. The only logical rebuttal to that point would be a bunch of vegans saying “whoa hey that’s not fair, I don’t hate anybody else for their choices”. And I’m sure those people are out there and to them I apologize for the generalization.

          Fair point but you seem to be doing the same moral high roading yourself.

            I have no hate for vegans. But I am also intolerant of bigotry. There’s more than enough of it coming from the religious right. I don’t need any more of it from the zealous left.
