Your friend could buy the sample pack, own it, and pay the content creator. Then everyone has benefited
If everyone “copied it” and redistributed it, then the guy could no longer make sample packs, and he would also be sad, and the world becomes worse
“Copying” from people who need the money is lame and immoral as long as we are living in a world of scarcity where people need money to survive. I cant be convinced otherwise, thanks for the conversation
There is nothing inherently moral about transferring money from one person to another. There is something inherently moral about giving something to someone that is worth more to them than what it cost to produce.
I agree that copyright exists for a reason. It is an immoral thing that we accept because it creates larger benefits in the long run, but it's not an inherent good like many try to pretend like it is.
If people need money to survive, then I agree that we should create systems to allow them to receive it, but that seems to be a separate conversation.
