| Millennium said: Piracy is theft, plain and simple, and the law needs to catch up. This doesn't mean that companies should be allowed to use Any Means Necessary to fight it: even now, many companies are using unethical means to an end that might otherwise be good, had they not tainted it. But they are fighting a legitimate problem, even if they are not using legitimate means. |
I'm sorry, but what you're doing here is essentially demanding that the Legal definition of the word of the word "theft" be changed. The reason why piracy isn't legally considered to be theft is because there is a very specific definition of the word "theft" that pre-dates you by centuries. There is no valid reason to change the definition of the word. In fact, the law relies on its interpretation and implementation to be consistent in order to be fair. If you change the Legal meaning of even a single word can in turn change the meaning of many, many laws as well as the way in which they are implemented.
Please, please don't make stupidly ridiculous suggestions like this again. You simply have no concept of the magnitude to which consistency in legal definitions protects the common, law-abiding citizen.
You do not have the right to never be offended.
