Maybe if you're the one collecting/distributing material for people, but there's nothing specifically "morally good" about consuming stuff. You're not some kind of caped crusader for wanting something for free instead of paying a company for it. Especially if society was structured differently.
What does this mean if one doesn't have special access to materials or technical expertise to create distribution systems? Making sure to seed torrents for as long as possible?
I mean I guess running a torrent thingy works, but the people doing any kind of "good" are people who actually contribute pirated materials, like uploading random documentaries and things someone has to YouTube. Or being one of those people who goes and sees a movie and records it (lol), because they're making something (usually entertainment) available to at least a couple people who can't otherwise afford it, which you could see as legitimately morally good, especially since it risks punishment.
