My pastor said this was stealing… and a sin… Netflix says if not same you sold than illegal. Thoughts? I never thought of it…

Netflix and Disney+ are both liberal platforms, which opens the door for sin in your household.

If Netflix says it is illegal I wouldn't share it. The subscriber and anyone they shared with can be prosecuted.
Sharing costs more these days.
By the time you get through sharing you might as well buy a second account.
 
OK, let me know what you think about this..

So my car lets me save music CD (compact discs) onto its media player.
I checked out quite a few CDs from the public library and did this. There is no intention to resell or make copies, profit in any way, other than to enjoy listenjng to the music, as if I had checked out the physical CD w/o checking it out every 3 weeks with an extension…

Sin or no sin.. or gray area..
 
Technically , my tax dollars paid for the CDs..


The Netflix probably has to be paid for … so I’ll pony up.

It's probably a sin. Similar to stealing music back in the day. But now... it's all on YouTube free.

I think with digital stealing its very confusing bc it's not a physical product. It's not like you have it.... so someone else can not. Or that the person is losing money if you never planned on buying it.

Even with youtube you can steal if you download the song... bc the artist is not getting the money from your view. Same with creating music content from someone else.

I think as humans we make excuses bc secretly we think they're rich so it doesn't matter and we're not taking it away from them where someone else can't get it.

That’s what I’m saying the music’s already free on YouTube… how can I be stealing if something is free? BUT, I won’t do it anymore….

I mean, you create a playlist from the YouTube and if you live stream the YouTube… it’s the same thing, but it’s very confusing as you haven’t technically download it.

You copied a CD. That's stealing because you have the CD in full but you didn't pay for it.

I don’t think it’s that black-and-white because if they put their own music out there and it’s free on YouTube, it could be considered fair use.
 
It is stealing an experience, watching the video, not stealing a physical object you can hold in your hand. It is still stealing, but a kind of stealing that is much easier to rationalize.

If you go to a concert and they give you an armband to get back in if you leave, is it stealing to throw the armband over the wall again and again so that your whole family can get in on one armband? The parallel is exact.
