Free dissemination of knowledge that benefits the advancement of mankind should never be illegal.

“I like piracy too but saying that banning piracy is immortal and comparing it to apartheid, slavery and ccolonialism is just ridiculous.”

When one puts it like that it sure does seem ridiculous, but to me it is obvious that the analogy I am making is purely the fact that something being illegal does not mean it's immoral.

“I really don’t understand why people think they have a moral right to other people’s creations.”

That's a straw man fallacy. That statement removes all the always important context you just alluded to, a statement which was never claimed.

I like that you brought it up though, the original remark, a bit sardonic but that's okay. It keeps me aware of my own potential generalizations, assumptions, fallacies, and whatnot.
