Google is giving away thier intelictual property or service (again don't know exactly what it is), they can do that. Now Developers/Publishers on the other hand want to get paid, they are not giving away thier intelictual property so we can't make copies of games.

Your argument doesn't make any sense. Your comparing things that are given freely with someone taking something that isn't free unless it's given as an actual gift (with sacrfice).

My whole point goes all the way back to the first thing I said. Pirates are dissatisfied for one reason or another. This is because of the shitty business models of companies. Obviously there are are other business models which succeed even at free prices, but I'm sure you don't even have to be free to make pirates buy your stuff instead of pirating it. In the end, shit business models get hurt by pirates, not the good ones.

Let's say the business model of the video game industry is flawed and you know it definitly is (we can definitely find some flaws if we look) ... so how does that give someone the right to steal?

And all business """"LIKE"""" the video game industry suffers from piracy.

 



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.
