Making a copy is not theft. Piracy could be considered making a back up copy. If backing up your data and music and games is piracy. Most people are guilty as charged.

Piracy laws and copyright laws restrict competition and free markets. I oppose piracy laws and copyright laws. So what if someone sells some bootleg copies in Asia or where ever: they have families to feed. Why should small innocent people starve at the expense of these nasty bully boy big corporations?

In my opinion/view: Stealing is the physical removal of an item that does not belong to you. Making a copy  is not theft. It is only a copy.
