Sigh not this old chestnut.

You can push and pull the arguments as to moral theft left or right. You can argue till the cows come home and make analogies that would make your granny blush.

At the end of the day it doesnt matter. From a legal perspective, the world over, copying a DVD or a Video game IS NOT THEFT. It never has been, it never will be.

The Recording Industries and Video game DEVS keep using the word THEFT because for most people THEFT has more gravity than COPYRIGHT INFRINGEMENT.

They rely on peoples unquestioning stance regarding THEFT, to propegate a misunderstanding to hopefully shame the pirates.

It is ILLEGAL but it IS NOT THEFT.

Once more for the seriously deluded.

COPYING VIDEO GAMES IS NOT THEFT.
COPYING DVD's IS NOT THEFT.

BOTH OF THE ABOVE ARE ILLEGAL ! (Unless made for personal use only)
THEY ARE COVERED UNDER COPYRIGHT LAW.

Seriously guys use the brains god gave you.
How many file sharers have you seen found guilty of THEFT ?
