Right on.

Piracy is thievery. Thieves are parasites.

 

 

Theft:

1. (Law) The act of stealing; specifically, the felonious taking and removing of personal property, with an intent to deprive the rightful owner of the same; larceny.

Nothing goes missing, therefore piracy is not theft. Not legally, not even de facto. You'd be wise to find some wit before you go and make us read your spit.

Goods OR property. Property refers to intellectual property as well as physical goods. Try a legal dictionary next time.

 

Perhaps you should try that dictionary. Theft refers to physical property whereas copyright infringement refers to intellectual property.

I have had this discussion with several lawyers, and not a single one has disputed me. If you went into a court of law and referred to this as theft, then the opposing attorney would object, and it would be upheld. If you continued to do so, then you would be held in contempt.
