I almost managed to not reply, but fine, I shall.
Stealing candy bars but buying chips is not comparable to buying video games but buying other video games, because (and you of course know what is coming here) pirating a video game does not in any way, shape or form detract from the net wealth of anyone. |
It's the same concept-- I do something wrong but I also do something right so I'm good.
Would you like it better if I said something like I spy on one woman changing through her window but report another peeping tom so I'm alright?
Anyways, the not actually taking anything is just one of the bullshit excuses pirates use to justify their actions as not bad so you can flaunt that around as much as you want but it really holds no ground in any way at all and still doesn't really respond to what I said above.

But the only reason you have put forward as to why pirating games is bad is because then you don't buy games that you otherwise would have.
But if the amount of games you buy is limited by your money, ie there are more games released that you want than you can buy then you are not committing a bad act and a good act when you buy one game and pirate one, you are committing a neutral act and a good act

But by going by that logic, you could then say since I can't afford x I can just take x whether x is a necessity or just something I want.
Is that right or does that for some reason only apply to games?
