Intellectual Property (Is it ok to steal music, movies or books without paying for them? Is using someone else’s work as your own without any recognition or compensation wrong?)
Being right or wrong depends only in which point of view you look at it. Intellectual Property has two sides of the story as well. A Hedonist practitioner as myself could find pleasure in “stealing” music, movies or books. I find it casually interesting to steal this entertaining stuff in which I usually find pleasure in, while I watch a movie, or listen to a good song. I find nothing wrong in stealing this stuff meanwhile you don’t use it to win money out of it. But someone else might find pleasure in doing that. If a normal person would think it’s correct, no, because stealing in any way is totally wrong. Although stealing or just taking some piece of media information is kind of fulfilling at the moment. Per say you download a movie illegally, you have a good time for the duration of the film, but afterwards you just take it as irrelevant and might even delete the film from your computer or wherever place you have it. A Hedonist would do anything just to find pleasure in doing it, no matter if the action is totally wrong or not, that would be irrelevant to the situation in case. Although if the stealing of any type of digital media would bring a negative situation or main in some way, the hedonist would not do it just to be happy or not bring any bad feelings towards oneself. So basically it is okay to steal a movie, song or book if it won’t bring any bad consequence, unless there is one, I (a Hedonist) would steal it.

I really disagree with Carlos because people can get pleasure without doing anything wrong.Stealing is stealing even though you say you got it borrow. Once you steal for pleasure or money you became a thief rather there is a consequence or not
