Thread: File Sharing/"Piracy"

    File Sharing/"Piracy"

    Namaste!

    I have been learning a lot about Sanatana Dharma lately and wish to begin following this beautiful way of life. I was curious, however, if music "piracy"/downloading music shared on a file sharing website is considered bad karma?

    I understand that there is no "sin", it is only that which prevents spiritual liberation for the self. Perhaps my debate over file sharing with myself is because I have "pirated" a lot of music in the past and have a hard time convincing myself that I was wrong, or perhaps it is because, to me, it encompasses a moral gray area: I do not see it doing harm to anyone else and do not consider it "stealing".

    Could anyone shed some light on this subject/discuss this amongst yourselves and with me? I am curious what HDF has to say on this subject!

    We are informed, ' a fair exchange is no robbery'
    Think about your transaction. What was given in return ?

    This applies to friends, family, society, merchants.
