Welcome to the Unpopular Opinion community!
How voting works:
Vote the opposite of the norm.
If you agree that the opinion is unpopular give it an arrow up. If it's something that's widely accepted, give it an arrow down.
Guidelines:
Tag your post, if possible (not required)
- If your post is a "General" unpopular opinion, start the subject with [GENERAL].
- If it is a Lemmy-specific unpopular opinion, start it with [LEMMY].
Rules:
1. NO POLITICS
Politics is everywhere. Let's make this about [general] and [lemmy] - specific topics, and keep politics out of it.
2. Be civil.
Disagreements happen, but that doesn’t provide the right to personally attack others. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Please also refrain from gatekeeping others' opinions.
3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.
Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.
4. Shitposts and memes are allowed but...
Only until they prove to be a problem. They can and will be removed at moderator discretion.
5. No trolling.
This shouldn't need an explanation. If your post or comment is made just to get a rise with no real value, it will be removed. You do this too often, you will get a vacation to touch grass, away from this community for 1 or more days. Repeat offenses will result in a perma-ban.
Instance-wide rules always apply. https://legal.lemmy.world/tos/

It is still theft.
copyright is theft. creators that have had their creations taken away because rich people own their IP now.
It becomes universal knowledge which is what we should all strive to achieve, the right way. When the copyright expires, time is up for any gatekeeping of inspiration.
whats the last copyright expiring that you remember
When items enter public domain.
Im asking what specific item do you remember entering public domain? The creator of the Lord of the Rings died in the 70's and his work is still under copyright.
Winnie the Pooh and the works of Jim Morrison.
So are you morally opposed to all the crap disney has done to ruin the public domain for entire generations?
That seems worse than pirating a disney movie to me.
70 years after the creator death. Stuffs should become public domain once the itrms no longer make significant revenue or no revenue at all
All theft is wrong, but it is much less sad when someone steals a diamond from Jeff Bezos than it is when someone steals a loaf of bread from someone who is starving.
"all theft is wrong" nah.
If the starving guy from your example stole food from jeff bezos to survive then that is morally correct theft.
I agree with what you're saying, it could be argued that it's wrong that the starving guy needs to steal in the first place, but that's probably semantics.
