I'm not after free content, I'm after accessible content.
This discussion is basically about how content industries, with all their clout, are somehow unable to match the usability of some dudes with a bit of spare time.
You just announced how you don't feel obligated to pay people money for content. You're after free content.
Yeah, it's probably easier to make content accessible when you're willing to completely break the law and ignore the rights of the people who have invested in creating the content in the first place.

This is what common core is doing to our children, people.
That sort of comment, Sir, makes me doubt that you are a true knight.
well, in this context no one is really "giving", it is there anyway and yours to decide if you just take it or pay for it.
In a society where products are intentionally and willingly overproduced to maximize profit (while at the same time trying to dump wages and social securities), the moral boundaries on piracy and/or stealing are getting a bit hazy, at least in my opinion. Of course, the legal situation is pretty clear in most cases.
No one is obliged to give you free content in the form of movies, music, books, video games, television shows, etc. Just because you can pirate or steal something doesn't mean it's morally or legally justifiable.
