      Use words correctly and people won’t argue with you over definitions and context.

        The title of the article is “There is no ethical consumption of HBO’s Harry Potter series”
        There is a difference between “consuming” something and studying something.
        If you’re too dumb to understand words, or are playing dumb, why would I want to talk to you?
        consuming reading, in this context.
        You have no point.
        You are stupid and not worth my time.

          If you really thought that you’d have stopped replying.

          My point is that your argument is bad. I even agree that engaging with Rowling’s work only feeds her agenda and people shouldn’t even pirate it. It’s just that you were arguing for it so poorly I had to say something.

          There is a difference between “consuming” something and studying something.

          Like there is a difference between a rectangle and a square. Study is a more intensive form of consumption, but it is still consumption.

          I don’t want to put words in your mouth, but I think what you’re trying to say is that there is a difference between consuming something for pleasure and consuming something for study, but the difference is literally academic.
