If we lived in a society where we didn’t need money we wouldn’t have to worry about this
Explain this society, and how it all works… from the bottom up, and is everybody happy in the end?
You asked a pretty question; I've given you the ugly answer.

Mr. Smith‍️

Stealing is never ok even downloading movies
The crown is mine!

The prices go up because millionaires and billionaires would rather use it as an excuse to raise prices than take a minor dent in their riches.

I understand what you're explaining, bit I don't agree. Get that through your heads, Karens.

But I'm not saying stealing from a struggling or small time shop is okay.
I shop small when I can. You can't avoid it though. No ethical consumption under capitalism. The issue isn't with shopping choices, but the system.

No,we don't have to cater to greedy corporations,shop at smaller local family stores,imagine if people actually protested corporate greed like they are protesting bud light for a trany endorsement,you would see some change.
Welcome to Filmboards. The short bus of movie chat forums.

And I can't shop at exclusively smaller stores. The bigger ones put them out of business. We use small businesses and farmer's markets when we can.

I didn't say thieves only steal from mom and pop stores. I said stealing from big corporations isn't wrong.

No explanation needed. I understand your point and I think it's ****.

I agree. I'm not going to waste the effort trying to explain why stealing is wrong. He isn't worth my time.

I have given up trying to explain this to him in even simple terms in another thread.
It's a waste of time… like talking to a brick wall

Instead of preaching, make an argument.
It's not immoral to take back what corporations take from us.
They don't need ro raise prices. They are in power. They choose to do that.

This is what I meant by people never having taken a class in basic economics. The people who think stealing is acceptable have no world knowledge. This is what makes companies raise the prices on products, making them unaffordable for everyone. Trying to justify doing something so immoral is astonishing.
People claiming the companies can afford it, don't understand the big picture. It's never okay.
Things have only gotten worse when we, as a society, decided it would be a good idea to not punish criminals.

Then what's the problem?
Why is it said that a multi billion dollar corporation loses what's basically pennies in comparison to what they make?

Your argument is basically pearl clutching.
I don't find shoplifting shocking. Sadly, it happens everyday.
I find your rationalization pathetic.

I do. Where's the issue? Your argument is basically pearl clutching.

Are you for real?
Do you really understand what it is that you are saying?
No. Don't answer…
You honestly don't understand a thing. You really need to get out of the house and live in the real world, Kid.
