You're misunderstanding. I have never claimed that you must act unethically, I claimed that your lack of stipulation in the sale amounts to agreement to the terms. The time to object was at the point of the transaction, not afterward, and certainly not without new information. I am not saying the law itself is or isn't moral, I'm saying your agreement to the law, knowing you have zero intention of following it as you disagree with it is immoral.

The correct course of action, the moral course, would be to decline the transaction on moral grounds. If you don't like copyright law, you shouldn't buy products that require its adherence, and you shouldn't pirate products that require someone else to deceive in order to obtain.

And if you can't figure out how to deal with the basic logical issues with your position, logical issues that people 500 years ago were able to navigate, that's more of a positional issue for you than it is any problem of mine. And why should you care? Because you seem to want to be correct here, and that's the only path forward. You cannot maintain your position justifiably without addressing the issues I've brought up with said position.

Your position re: "the sticker" is a substantial retraction of your initial argument, that piracy is not immoral. It's also incorrect. The "sticker" presents a reminder of the social contract's obligations, which only makes it further immoral that, despite the reminder, a person still willfully deceives their way into possession of a copy of a work.
