The problem is those companies (premiumize, debrid, whatever) are entities that make profits from filesharing and give nothing back to artists. That’s not morally defensible.
Filesharing itself is perfectly morally defensible, and in fact sharing culture is good for society (including artists).
So while they might be convenient, they also shouldn’t exist in the first place. Parasitic companies shouldn’t be rewarded for their patristic behaviour.
you are not wrong, but this also applies to VPN services. (their defense is as good as the sharehosters are useful for downloading Linux ISOs)
and without using any of those proxy services, the lawyers get rich on my money, not the artists either

VPNs would still be in business if illegal filesharing didn’t exist. I don’t think you could say the same for sharehosters.
true. because they scam people into thinking they would add privacy.
