Jumping a turnstile and taking a physical, actually scarce resource is not comparable to duplicating a digital, artificially scarce resource.
The train requires ongoing maintenance and can only hold a finite amount of people. Taking the train seat for free takes away something from another person. Downloading media does not use any ongoing resources, and does not take anything away from another consumer.
Comparing the morality of physical goods to digital goods are not really a good comparison specifically because of the artificial scarcity brought on by making something digital to try to make it more expensive doesn’t map to the real scarcity of physical goods.
Bitch, I find fulfilment in paying my fucking bills. I could give 2 shits less about the “tangible results” of my work that makes my company money, I only care that my boss is happy with my work and I get paid. Working harder to get another 10% out the door gets me 0% more money, so why do I care about making you more money with no benefit to me?
All that is ln’t to say I don’t care about the quality of my work, I’m just not going to break my back to make my boss another dollar while I get jack shit out of my extra effort. I get paid for 40hrs, I work 40hrs, and I’m surely not going above and beyond to earn a pizza party or something…
