    The moral thing to do is to pay your share of that if you make a copy, even if the copy itself doesn’t cost anything.

    under what ethical system?

      Mine, obviously. But feel free to correct me if you disagree with something.

        there’s no reason to believe what you claimed. a claim made without justification can be dismissed without justification.

          What unjustified claim did I make that you disagree with? Seems all rather uncontroversial to me.

            i don’t need to disagree to disbelieve. i do disagree, but without establishing your justification for this claim, it’s kind of hard to argue against it.

              The justification was that creating things has a cost, even if a copy doesn’t, and that we should distribute that cost as fairly as possible among the people benefiting from the creation.

                  Idk what to tell you but: Yes it does. We can’t really argue if you refuse to elaborate your point.

                    when you drive over a bridge, do you tip the engineering form? the contractors? they’re the ones who created this experience for you.
