Piracy is Copyright Infringement, not theft.

If downloading a game deserve death, what about those involved in multi-million/billion dollars?

Copyright infringement is the theft of intellectual property no?

 

It's not the same as physical property, like, say, a car.

It's still wrong, but some people here make it sound like it worse than raping your fields and pillaging you women.
