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. 🤑

    Land has value, and thus comes with a price. Equipment doesn’t spring forward from creativity and hard work alone - it also requires materials, and besides that, you have to pay for people’s innovation and hard work when buying equipment.

      @Feweroptions Thinking that price has anything to do with value is also a common mistake. Price is how much the owner of a thing can extort you for it, which is not the same as how useful it is.

      Land has no certain intrinsic price (although it does have an intrinsic *quantity*, which is the total land divided by the total people). Land has a price because we live in an exploitative system.
