Hmm, it's strange grey area. Sometimes piracy is the only way to make the book not disappear. There are niche, low circulation books and magazines which without piracy would disappear and became almost unavailable.

Sometimes the book is no longer in the print because of many reasons:

  1. Author changed her / his mind and no longer wishes to publish it, at least in the original edition / version.
  2. Copyrights are being taken over and the final copyright owner ceases to republish it even when paid.
  3. Copyrights owner doesn't know that his the owner of some books and it leads to the legal limbo.
  4. Low circulated books & magazines don't survive until the copyrights expire - owners of the books die and their next heirs believe the books / magazines are just garbage and burn it or throw it away.

Ethics & piracy is pretty strange combination and there is no easy answer for it

Preferences are debatable and some people actually like that crap you don't. F.e. I never understood American hype on "superhero" movies. I'd sooner watch American wresting which may be more plausible than any modern superhero movie

Lol. No, it's only the public part. Germans disclosed the secret part which clearly stated what I said.

Soviets trained Nazi tank and artillery crew and provided them place for military training in times when they were forbidden to have heavy arms.

It's a basic history material from the secondary school maybe

Oh, so when do you take to the court half of western Germany? Up to late 70s justice ministry officials were in 30% ex nazi party members. Not mentioning BND ( ex org Gehlen ) which was nazi organization run by nazi army officer.

Did the Germans return robbed pieces of art? Did the Germans repay restitution to the victims of German nazi camps ( yes, German because first nazi camps were created in Germamy like in Dachau 1933, then in Austria )

Did Germans repay for the victims of Intelligenzaktion ( killing action of Polish elite, educates people like doctors, academics, politicians and members of police and army )

Did Germans repay for intentionally robbing and demolishing any industrial or even cities like Warsaw?

Please let's talk seriously about war crimes

I think it would be better to replace it with "fabricated on" date

That's shitty times thar you have to use tools for pirating like torrent, Usenet to share big files . For smaller ones even email providers have bigger limits at least 15 megabytes

Yes, different generation. I didn't write OLD or ELDERLY. Yes, we grow older - accept it or not :-)

The user base has changed. Before it used to be used by young people willing to share their parts of lives, exchanging f.e. studying material Now it is used by mostly older people (over 30) having family not willing that much to share anything from their lives except from talking to their relatives over the messanger.

So who creates the information today? I guess bots and sometimes some facebook groups but I noticed that facebook shares your group posts to absolutely not related people to that group.

Including your mum and sister, the posts related on smoking weed and going to techno parties.

Young people (Gen-Z) don't use facebook pretty much at all. Sometimes maybe messanger because of their family
