I am tired of you two running around in circles.

Piracy is not theft. Iti s copyright infringement.

Copyright infringement is legally distinct from theft.

You can talk about it on some moral level all you want, but legally speaking it is not theft.

Piracy is not theft. It is copyright infringement. Which isn't theft.

I know that Mr Khuutra

That's annother good point to be against piracy... it's illegal. Piracy theft on a moral stance though, making pirates thieves.

No. No no no no no no no.

Listen.

The reason that piracy is not theft - whihch is to say, it is copyright infringement - is because thievery necessitates the removal of property. Piracy does not take away anyone's property. It makes a copy without permission. That is why it is copyright infringement and not theft; because it doesn't take away product from anyone.

It is not theft.

It is copyright infringement.

Stop tyring to pretend that it is theft. The exercise is absurd and intellectually dishonest.
