    But maybe you can explain where all the downvotes come from, because I don’t understand.

    Is thievery good? Only when thieving from companies? Is is socially acceptable to take what is not yours from others? Only from companies? Or from a stranger who has more than you? From a friend? What’s this all about?

      The answer is… It depends. Stealing food or diapers because you or your child are starving is based. Stealing someone’s car… Not so much.

      Yeah, it’s completely ethical to steal from big corporations. They steal from you every single day. Their entire existence is based on the amoral exploitation of other humans. Other people, small businesses, a very very very few medium-large corporations, it’s not ethical to steal from, they’re not a disgusting blight rotting away the foundations of society. Nor a friend, or stranger, or small business, etc. for the same reason.

      I feel like this isn’t a particularly hard concept.
