Almost like the context matters and the world isn't entirely made up of black and white binary choices because we're not robots or computers and discrete logic does not apply to human moral arguments.

Conveniently, these moral arguments that are freed from the confines of discrete logic also allow people on /c/piracy to ignore the rules when justifying their own piracy, and still condemn others they already happen to dislike when they do piracy.

because company and individual are same

So IP law for individuals = bad, but IP law for corporations = good is the general argument here?

Is there a principled basis for this argument?

It seems like a lot of art like musicians or novelists rely almost entirely on earnings from selling their works to individuals. Wouldn't a legal regime like you're advocating basically make producing art for real people a lot less lucrative comparatively and drive those artists into making corporate art and marketing materials?

does only selling to individual prevent company from pirating
