I know many here justifies piracy because of expensive music, movies, theatre and licences of software.
But let's look at for a moment if do we really need this stuffs?
By the way to those who doesn't know it, almost commercial media copyrights prohibited distribution to ohthers for
monetary or non-monetary gain. For example if you have a genuine, original copy
-for software you can only install it on limited number of devices,
-for music you cannot give the original CD to others to freely copy it.
-for movies broadcasting is to crowd, and distributing copies to others is prohibited,
Unless with permission from the owner or limited use allowed by laws
Example:http://distribution.hillsong.com/publishing/faq
These are also written on many covers of disk/manual and license agreement before installing a software
you can make duplicates as long you keep it to yourself just in case the original copy is corrupted, but not to give others a copy to be used.
You may see how rampant the practice of piracy is, many don't even know that what they are doing is wrong.
stealing is against the law, many will not agree it to be stealing, but still it is wrong, for example you are a software programmer and after you sell your software to a client, after the agreement,
he makes multiple copies of it and posted it on the internet to be downloaded free, obviously what he did is an offense, unless you intended your software to be free..
Our conscience tells us that covetousness/greediness is sin, that is wanting that is not ours in the expense of others. And no thief, covetous person will enter the kingdom of God.
Jesiusn came to save us from our sins not just to forgive us.
For free media look for creative commons licences, public domain, for software opensource, and freeware
I have a few list here:
Freewares - Joselito M.Mutuc
and for Christian media you can go to:
