| superchunk said: I 100% disagree with you as the big difference in pirating and renting/buying used is that money is still transfering hands and that allows the original purchaser to buy another new game. Thus, while renting/buying used is not as desirable to devs as everyone buying their own unique copy, its still not theft and in the long run the devs still profit something. |
I agree, though there's also a distinction between digital piracy and theft. Theft legally implies a loss of physical goods, with piracy there's only the loss of a potential (but not certain) sale. Although, most legal systems worldwide don't actually make that distinction. :/
