Why do many deem this moral?
I see from a purely economic standpoint. If somebody sells a product, then it's wrong to acquire it unjustly (,i.e. a fair exchange of money for the product). Isn't this why we condemn shoplifting, as an example? it's also false that intangible goods are somehow "different" to tangible items. it's still the exact economic principle at hand.
People often make bs arguments like "record companies make shitty music, so it's my way of getting my own back" or "oh, those record labels have stacks of money as it is, so they're not missing anything!" or "hey, art shouldn't be for profit, dude!!"
yeah, so i can walk into an Apple store, pick up an iPhone 5 without paying for it, and proclaim "Yo, Mr. Cook, you have enough money as it is, why should i care about your firm's revenues?" that would be a nice thing to say to the judge when i'm being tried for theft lol.. also, who says art shouldn't be for profit? if any kind of artist wants to exploit economically his or her talent, yeah, holding economic freedom is Evil!! worse than Stalin!!!!!
Some may point out the contradictions in this posting, but I don't care. people contradict, and most people are flippant lol..
