Most companies are driven by greed, they don't care how they make money as long as they don't get caught.
I understand it when people play with the greedy companies by their own rules.

Thanks for your reply.

Another situation. I bought a Version 1 electronic device off of Amazon and over the past year they made it run worse(kind of like what Apple did with older phones). People online have been complaining about how bad it runs now and it needs a firmware update to fix it. But instead, they came out with Version 2 of the device to address the problem and the device looks identical to version 1. A work colleague said the only way he "fixed" the problem was by buying the Version 2 device, sticking the Version 1 device into the Version 2 box, then send it back.

Would it be morally wrong to do this if a company knows about the issue, but wants you to buy Version 2 for increased profits? I feel like I was scammed a bit too.

Well, do you think it's morally wrong? You must have some doubt if you're asking. If it were me, I couldn't do it, but that's just me. :bigjoint:

Yeah I'm not sure the shade of grey on this one. Do you think it is easy to see the world in black and white?

I'm also torn on streaming movies and tv shows on free sites. Like I already support so many streaming sites, but I just can't find a certain show sometimes that isn't lots of money. And what if I don't like it after 3 episodes?

Is there any way you could steal the money AND get him busted for drug possession/stolen property etc? That would prob be the best scenario for both parties.

Lol... I'm not judging you bro. I'm not an angel myself, but I do try to do the right thing whenever I can. We are only human after all.

If someone brags to you about stealing $500 and you have the chance to take the stolen money, is it morally acceptable? There is no option to go to the police because you can't prove they stole it, you also don't know who they stole it from. But you can get away with stealing it from the thief without them knowing, do you do it?

Nah. Unless i know they got it from someone who suffered from it being stolen. Then I'll steal it. But then again if it's my boy and he's hungry even if he took it from someone else who was hungry i wouldn't take it. Situational.
