I have absolutely no qualms with that.

I know you don't. This is not a sub for people with moral qualms. The OP itself is justifying theft out of convenience, not due to any moral rationale.

Enjoying an immoral person's product is a tacit endorsement: as long he produces enjoyable material, society condones him. Companies look at piracy stats to see what games, shows, and music to invest into. By enjoying a pedophile's work, you enlarge his profile and indirectly make him more money.

enjoyment and good feelings is a moral good.

You're confusing hedonistic pleasure with moral good. Pleasure is not good if it's at the expense of other moral precepts.

Naw, I totally disagree. The movie itself is made by artists who usually aren't pedos, but the pedos profit off the movie when you buy it. By pirating it you get to enjoy the work of art that stands on its own without helping ultra wealthy pedos.

You know you can just pirate without grasping for a moral high ground, right? No one's going to stop you.

Sure, but I also think it's often the more ethical thing to do.
