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. 🤑

Did you read the descriptions? They are either located in very rich countries or are charities.

If they are located in rich countries, guess how people got the money to be able to pay... They got the money because they got payed for their work. Their work wasn't stolen.

And the charities, looks like an amazing initiative, but definetely not lucrative. So expansion and growth would be extremely hard. Also, they seem to rely on limited resources like supermarket leftover food.

@platypus_plumba Why would everything need to expand and have exponential growth? We already fucked so many things ...

If they grew, they could help more people who are hungry.

@platypus_plumba And get more stressed, etc.. Everything is not about growth.
