    Are you arguing just to argue at this point? Because it feels like you’re moving the goalpost every time somebody corrects you and not entirely in a malevolent way, but more like a stubborn just-don’t-want-to-be-wrong way

      Funnily I feel the same way about everyone replying. The original comment in replied to was about how piracy didnt solve the problem because even consuming materials with a hateful creator was bad for your health. Then people keep coming back with stuff about financially supporting Rowling, which piracy does solve.

      My goalpost hasn’t changed, people just keep pushing back from different angles. My thesis is the same: Don’t financially support Rowling, don’t market for her work, and don’t be complacent about hate mongering. But if you have access to the content for free and you wish to consume it, it doesn’t hurt anyone to do so and it’s nobody’s business to judge you for it.
