Ce que le judaïsme enseigne sur Pirater des films et de la musique
Selon le judaïsme, Pirater des films et de la musique : Péché véniel.
La loi juive traite le piratage comme un vol et une violation du principe selon lequel « la loi du royaume est la loi » (dina d'malkhouta dina), le droit d'auteur étant une loi civile. Le remède est le remboursement ou la suppression, et celui qui profite du flux volé d'un ami partage la responsabilité.

Judaism brings two strong principles to piracy. The first is theft itself: Exodus 20:15 covers intangible property in halakhic analysis, and one who enjoys another's work without paying benefits from theft (me'ahavat ha-gezel? — the Talmud prohibits deriving benefit from stolen goods). The second is dina d'malkhuta dina — 'the law of the kingdom is the law' (Nedarim 28a) — the principle of Samuel that civil law binds Jews where it does not command sin. Copyright is civil law; therefore pirating is both theft and violation of the law of the land. Rabbi Moshe Feinstein addressed copying intellectual property in the 1980s and prohibited unauthorized reproduction where the creator sells for profit — a ruling from the generation before Napster that contemporary poskim apply to streaming. The remedy is concrete: delete or pay, and where money changed hands wrongly, restitution to the extent possible.

- Audit your devices once: delete pirated files or pay for them where the creator still sells them.
- Use legal alternatives — libraries, free tiers, and sales exist for nearly everything.
- Jewish: Apply dina d'malkhuta dina — copyright is the law of the land; Rav Moshe Feinstein already ruled against unauthorized copying.
- All: If you have built income on pirated tools, replace them with licensed ones — earnings built on theft need repair.
Repentance: Teshuvah
The Talmud teaches that teshuvah was created before the world itself — Hashem believed in your return before you were born. The gates of return are open now.
