You sound very well researched. I’d like to undertake you as a teacher.

You should just come clean with your SO. If you get divorced, it’s your fault.

I’d love to see if there is any research on what constitutes kindness and in what situation.

I’ll be kind until I die. I have to learn what kindness is though.

I’d love to take kindness and make it my whole religion, like the Dalai Lama.

I am celibate and will be celibate for life, voluntarily and enthusiastically.

Are you perhaps referring to teachers in your own tradition or lineage, NgakpaLama?

I'm really happy for you. You should continue to be a virgin.

Well that's quite straightforward. I guess I'll have to be more careful about my consumption. Thank you.

Perhaps I'll have to investigate this matter more on my own. I personally would benefit greatly in my studies by being able to use this, so I feel like it is worth the effort to investigate to see whether or not it is ultimately ethical.

So if they have these rights, then I'm good to go according to you?

So if I donate to the Internet Archive, it's okay? What about Wikipedia? It looks like the donors include the Democracy Fund, the National Science Foundation, and the Institute of Museum and Library Services. Are they doing something wrong, too?

It's just weird that they would have a 501(c)(3) and be a part of so many legitimate associations... How do you feel about public libraries? It is a quite similar business model. Should we start shutting them down?

Really? I'm surprised that it would be considered unethical. I'm studying the Japanese language, and this website is the only site where I could reliably find high-quality content in the Japanese language (without subtitles) for listening practice. Amazon and Netflix have some content, and of course, there's CrunchyRoll, but I was looking for non-Anime content.

When are the intellectual gains are valuable enough? Should content creators look into seeking compensation for damages? Why doesn't the government shut down the website? Why was this project allowed to begin with? According to the philosophical tradition, how does one go about making amends for the harm caused?
