You paid for it, but you never bought it. So you would still not have a clean conscience.

If you paid for it, then not a single person in the world can ever accuse you of "stealing" from creators, or of failing to support them.

They named the price, and the price was paid. The licensing and rent seeking shenanigans of corporations and their lawyers are utterly irrelevant.

[ragazzina]

Having a clean conscience depends on one's internal moral values, not from what the rest of the world accuses of. If one's moral compass would feel the need to having paid for it to feel satisfied, it would also need to having bought it.

Copyright is an absurd monopoly, tolerated because it is among the least bad ways to to compensate creators for their work.

Therefore, if you have compensated creators, you are morally in the clear, objectively, no matter what else you do.

Practically infinite number of persons in law enforcement and blackmail businesses absolutely would accuse you.

I meant normal people, not the enforcers of monopolistic laws that were bought and paid for by corporate lobbyists.
