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.

I'm not pretending.

 It's not the usual kind of theft but it's theft.

 



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.
