Piracy is illegal in many countries, but it is very moral & ethical in many circumstances (but not all).
Curious, when would you say that pirating is "very moral and ethical?" Not judging one way or the other, just curious.
Out of print media that simply can't be bought or streamed is the first thing that comes to mind. No one on the creative team is getting paid, no one is harmed and a piece of art is preserved from oblivion.
Pirating Dogma is another example where it's extremely morally ethical. Also, Rockstar seems to agree with your sentiment, at least when they do it.
