I hate to break your bubble:

 


I already saw that video a long time ago LOL it was funny on different levels.

It's still stealing... doesn't matter if it's digital or that it doesn't dissappear after it's stolen. Someone is getting somethng without paying for it. That alone makes it stealing[period]

In that little clip... it weighs morals on the basis of whether the action does something pysically or emotionally damaging and doesn't shed any light what so ever on the moral. The action causing pysical or emotional damage doesn't matter. The moral does and that's what it's about, piracy being immoral. Stealing. Although the economical affects are important too, the moral part is what truly makes it wrong.

That is probably one of the most ignorant words I have had the chance to read. I wonder how many other things are considered stealing in your world. I can come up with quite a few. How about gifts? What about the use of Google search? Do you not steal Google then? How about this very site? Do you not steal the console numbers?


Now your just being difficult. Do you actually think I think gifts are wrong? Be  a little realistic. I understand some things can be free... video games are not free though.

It's stealing.

Then define stealing for me, because whatever your definition is I bet you I can show you just how ignorant it is. You provided me with one, and I went ahead and showed you why it's just plain stupid. I would also like to know how Google's software (like android, it's a freaking complete OS) is different than a game company's software, yet you feel fine not paying for it

To get something without paying for it. Gifts are exeptions because thier gifts.

I would also like to define a gift.

Gifts are when you sacrfice something for someone and you no longer have it or use it. The sacrfice makes it a gift.

I guess in this case it does matter if the item dissappears.

Good deeds vs Bad deeds...

They are opposites in that area... makes sense.

I want your definition of stealing.



All gaming systems, consoles/PC, have thier perks... why fight over preferences? I like Coke and you like Pepsi, that's it, let's not fight over which toy we like best cause that's what they are. Is someone's preference in a toy important or is the relationship between you and your neighbor more important? Answer is obvious, but THE most important thing is your relationship with God almighty. God Bless you in Jesus's name.

I can communicate without talking... I can send a loved one money without actually sending money... and I can commit theft without the product disappearing, the point of theft is the point of theft not one of it's possible symptoms which is the product dissappearing. The thief wants to gain something without paying for it, that's the point of theft, the thief doesn't have to care or anybody else has to care if the product dissappears. The product dissappearing is just a possible symptom of theft. Gifts are sacrfices, in order to give a gift, it has to be a genuine sacrfice/gift, meaning a copy of the game isn't still in your PC. Piracy is theft and/or being a culprit of theft.
