Topic	Pirating is not theft
LordRazziel 11/15/18 7:38:57 PM #20:	On_The_Edge posted... voldothegr8 posted... How is it not theft, because it's digital? That's dumb. If you take a product, physical or otherwise, without paying for it that's theft. I think part of the essence of theft is that it's not available to the person you stole it from anymore. With pirating you don't remove anyone's ownership of something. You could say you're stealing from potential sales, but I think that's only if you distribute the digital item. You could say it's a lot like plagiarism, It's then theft of intellectual property. --- https://i.imgtc.com/xg91pMF.gif On really romantic evenings of self, I go salsa dancing with my confusion. <cite>LordRazziel posted [p:912475018] in Pirating i...
