Topic Suggestion/Request:
Is violating copyright law ever morally permissible?
For example:
- Cracking a piece of software one has paid for, but the company which published it is now defunct and the licence servers are shut down, rending the software otherwise unusable.
- Distributing aforementioned software. A common argument in favor of this is that if the publisher/developer is no longer in business or is not selling that software, then they are not incurring losses from distribution.
- Scanning a particular Bible translation that currently has no extant Bible app module and building one so that:
A. I can read it on my phone instead of having to carry a book around.
B. Distribute said module to friends.
