There is nothing ethical about pirating.


There is even less ethical about financially supporting companies that tried to buy laws that would destroy the net as we know it.


So you're claiming that anyone who buys a DVD or a CD is acting unethical? Support that.


Not if the item was produced by a a party other than the parties pushing for SOPA and its ilk. I think piracy is generally bad, I just think financing groups that want to destroy the internet is worse. Think of it as a transmogrification of the MPAA mandated warnings at the beginning of movies telling you that if you buy from pirates you're supporting drugs / terrorism / human smuggling / pick your poison.

If you buy from SOPA supporters, you're supporting the death of the internet.
