      What would you call it if you make a contract with a gardener, they make your entire garden and then you don’t pay them. Since it’s not stealing, where is the harm, right?

        You’re stealing their time. That’s not really comparable since the people who made the tv show or movie you’re pirating have already been paid.

            Do you believe there will ever be a time where everyone pirates everything?

              Since the idea seems to be that pirating digital goods is a moral imperative, the question what are the consequences if everyone would do it is valid.
