>Piracy is an act of robbery or criminal violence by ship or boat-borne attackers upon another ship or a coastal area, typically with the goal of stealing cargo and valuable goods, or taking hostages.
>Those who conduct acts of piracy are called pirates, and vessels used for piracy are called pirate ships.
You 100% can, just target some coastal libraries

>>220804249
Dostoevsky has been in the public commons since forever. Nips are dumb about stuff like this.

>>220804249
I read Brothers Karamazov and Crime and Punishment. Both are based on compelling scenarios, then descend into inane moralizing and reflection on a modernizing Russia. Not a fan.

>>220804435
Translations are derivative works

>>220804249
yeahhh and honestly he is the most thoughtful writer ever. no one could dig so deep through the human soul. the cultural and religious similarities were bonuses
>inb4 some nobody incel writer is actually the most basedest

Japanese people simply want you want you to steal their hard earned work. "Muh advertising", "muh spreading cultural awareness" aren't excuses. You pay for it. Seems like only the Japanese have morals.

the idiot is my favourite, though it didn't feel quite as impressive to me on re-reads it than the first time.

>>220804249
I prefer tolstoy

>>220804249
Dostoevsky has been dead since the 1800s. The only people they're going to be harming are the Japanese translators. Are Japanese people on Twitter mentally slow or what?

How about you stop defending piracy? If you're too poor to afford a textbook, don't just print it out illegally. If you can't afford a textbook, then you can't afford an education, simple as that. You're literally doing something illegal and breaking the law.

>>220805220
I dont care, the law is wrong

>legalism
wrong actions are not wrong because they are illegal, they are wrong because they are wrong. many wrong actions are legal, and some right actions may be illegal. the law is guided by morality, law is never a guide to morality

>>220804249
Tried crime and punishment like 3 times but I keep losing track of what's going on cause the names of the characters are like raskolnikov and marmaladeinov

>>220804249
Why are japs this autistic when it comes to piracy. Shit this old is public domain anyway.
I had professors just give us, or tell us, how to get pdfs of certain textbooks for free.

>>220804435
They don't know what creative commons and copyright expiry are.
You can find the most of Dostoevsky main works on wikisource translated for free and legally.

I have read half of Crime and Punishment
Also translations aren't necessarily in the public domain

From one Canadian to another, stfu moralfag. Be grateful you live in a country where ISPs don't give a shit about torrenting.

Were they expecting a cease&desist letter from Dostoevsky incorporated?

Ive read a bunch of his short stories like White Nights, Notes from the Underground, and The Idiot. All pretty good. I kind of want to pick up Brother Karamazov after I read "The Grand Inquisitor" which a story within that book connected to the characters.

Thus far ive read some of Chekov, Dosoyevsky and Tolstoy and the Russian literature scene has been kino the entire time.

First of all, the majority of us in Japan actually watch pirated content, whether it's JAV or manga. However, if you openly admit to it on social media, you’ll face serious backlash from the creators and the fans who actually pay for the content. No matter how popular a streamer is, if they’re caught using pirated material, they get heavily criticized.

Creators here genuinely despise piracy, and the domestic crackdown has been ramped up significantly over the last few years. Given this environment, piracy is considered unacceptable regardless of whether it's happening inside or outside Japan. There’s no point in trying to justify it. That’s why the majority of people in Japan who use pirated sites do so in secret and never speak about it publicly.

That's just not how east asians in general think. Their laws are not traditionally guided by morality so much as social hierarchy and establishing expectations for a functioning society. Religion and philosophies that are based in universal moral ideals have never been a big part of their governments and their morality is much more of a personal thing. You go to the shrine yourself or pray to your ancestors in private but that has nothing to do with the law. Their laws are designed to set social and economic expectations. That's why breaking the law is inherently wrong to them. Breaking any law is a fundamental breakdown of society in their eyes. That's why you see people having their whole lives ruined over skimming 10 cents off a coffee from a convenience store over there.
