    Hola Jose, generally speaking "is SOMETHING a sin?" questions are off topic here unless you can put a faith tradition behind it, we try not to pose questions that necessarily require us to either self-interpret the Bible or you ask, "according to the Catholic/Anglican/Baptist etc... Church is Piracy a sin" (note, the Catholic question has already been asked) https://christianity.stackexchange.com/questions/26481/roman-catholic-is-piracy-of-information-and-media-wrong-in-all-circumstances and there is also http://christianity.stackexchange.com/questions/2255/is-breaking-copyright-law-a-sin – Peter Turner Mar 22 '24 at 13:17

  • I honestly think that copyright laws are made up and that internet "piracy" is not generally sinful, especially when the creators of the thing being "pirated" have already received due compensation from its sale. However, there may be cases in which piracy is sinful, especially if done maliciously, or because of an unwillingness to pay the creators what is due for their labor. In your case, it doesn't seem you could pay the creators, and they likely have already received just compensation, anyway. – jaredad7 Mar 22 '24 at 20:36
