Morality and downloading

[One Above All]

Slippery-slope fallacy.
What happens if the majority of people buy music, no matter how much the artists jack up the prices? They'll start selling their children just to get a new CD! The horror!
Try again.

Bullshit.

Really? Did you not just try to argue that it's wrong because it could lead to bad things happening?

All along, I've been asking for some moral basis. Not what do individuals think is moral or immoral, but on what basis we should found a moral system about this new technology?

I don't understand this question. Technology isn't good or evil, and morality is basically an average of behaviors individuals consider moral and immoral.

FYI: I justify piracy with the fact that game developers intentionally inflate their prices for no reason other than to maximize profits, and I find it hard to give even half a fuck whether they make slightly less money than they were hoping for, the latter of which is still in the millions.
