Does it make people right or wrong? Well, in this case I think most people would understand.

Most people sure. You though? You don't give a fuck why people do the things that they do, remember?

And no, stealing bread for sustenance is in no way shape or form remotely comparable to downloading a movie or song.

You are right, because in the case of stealing, the person has deprived the owner of that bread. If the hungry person was able to copy the bread and leave the original bread untouched for the owner to eat, it would literally harm no one. Even if that person owned the 'intellectual property' of that bread.

If someone were to download my music blah blah blah

You don't give a single fuck what someones reason is for doing what they do, yet you expect people to give fucks about what you value. It works both ways.

It’s still piracy,

No it isn't. Piracy is robbery or other serious acts of violence committed at sea. "Piracy" is a name some 'clever' lawyer or corporate exec coined to convince people that breaking copyright laws was equivalent to violent crime.

and is still wrong.

Who died and made you arbiter of 'right' and 'wrong'? Was it your 'lord'?

Does this make me a hypocrite? I suppose it does.

Of course it does, I thought that was understood. What it doesn't make is other people hypocrites for breaking your own personal moral code.

I just don’t try to hide behind some sort of bullshit excuse.

Who is trying to hide? I have not made a single excuse, and I wont because I don't believe it's wrong like you do.

Just own up to it.

Own up to what? To crossing Jessica's line in the sand? Sure, I'll own up to that. Fuck your line. I piss on your line.

I’m not judging anyone.

You clearly are lmfao. "What you are doing is wrong and nothing could possibly justify it, own up to it! QQ No judgment though" Fuck off with that.

Just merely stating facts.

Your own personal OPINION about the morality of copyright infringement is subjective. That isn't obvious?

Am I wrong when I do it? Absolutely. I choose not to justify it.

Sure, you happily break your own moral code and then judge others for doing something that is not against their moral code. Somehow you think the world revolves around you and that you are the arbiter of 'right and wrong'.

I don't subscribe to your ignorant beliefs about copyright- so I'm not under the same obligation to obey them as you are.

Clearly this is not going anywhere. I completely disagree with your incessant attacks. Kindly fuck off.
