i see it as a philosophical question really: is a digital copy equal to the original? I postulate that it isnt - a copy is a different object, it resides on a different computer, and occupies space on that computer’s storage media.
so, if you’re making a copy, it’s not really “piracy” because the copy you made isnt the original. the original has value (imagined or otherwise)
the world is overpopulated and everyone who wants to have children should require a license to do so (and it should cost a lot - like, a mid-tier job’s annual salary).
