There’s absolutely something immoral about stealing. If you don’t think there is then it just means your morals are out of whack.

You think people renting out their property is immoral? Yeah nah, your opinion on this is wrong.

Correct. All wealth is the product of labor, therefore rent and profit are theft, and workers taking back a bit of the wealth stolen from them is good.

Landlords are parasites that prey on the vulnerable and produce nothing of value. Corporations who own and profit from ”intellectual property” are no different.

And what precisely is the moral issue with stealing? Depriving someone of their personal property, which piracy is not.
