Who hates piracy?

I really don't understand why people say they have no choice because they don't have the money. I don't have the money to afford a Ferrari, but that doesn't make stealing one more legitimate. "Steal what you can't buy" is pure communist crap.

 

Except piracy is not stealing per se, this reason has been given many times, but when I steal that ferrari someone else won't buy it. Now if I make a copy, all of that handcrafted goodness is paid for. Especially with a Ferrari I can use the other beaten to death excuse. I'm never buying a Ferrari anyways (even if i could spare the money) , and someone has already paid for it, so might as well get a copy for myself. The craftsman still gets paid for the Ferrari HE built, why should he get paid for the copy if he didn't even bother building it? In my opinion you need a better example because this one just makes it too easy to counter, here's a hint, applying piracy analogies to physical things does not work out in your favor at all.

I've learned how to drive manual in one of the worst cities ever when it comes to driving. I dare say it challenges any South American city.

LOL nothing beats stick shift. Specially when it's traffic and someone bumpers you behind on a very steep slope . I still love stick shift though. Had the opportunity to go automatic twice but stuck with the stick shift. Power on demand :)
