protecting companies from unlawful piracy is just as much a moral good

bruh

> protecting companies from unlawful piracy

Counterpoint: piracy is moral.

Nobody's owning a thing, BeIN is a live sports channel

I’ll always support those who are willing to take such risks where I am not.

It is not obvious that any specific unauthorized act of copying is "piracy," there is always a fair use argument and at the end of the day it is up to the courts to determine whether or not fair use applies.

Pretty inconvenient with the Internet being a thing.
