Oh, I see what you meant. Semantics... I disagree, though. I consider it stealing - a digital form of - when a hacker breaks into my computer and takes my files with him even if I still have a copy of them.

Ohh I'm sorry, were you saying something, racist? See I just redefined "racist" to mean anyone who disagrees with me. It's all a matter of semantics, anyways, isn't it?

It's not a matter of semantics at all. It's a matter of using words properly. Digital Piracy has a proper definition. Stealing has a proper definition. They are not the same. You can't just start re-defining well established terms to fit your narrative. Piracy is not theft and you're just going to have to come to terms with that.

I pirate stuff all the time but I literally just looked up the definition of piracy on dictionary.com and yes, it's stealing. People go to jail for it! People pay fines for it! 

 

Just admit that you and I are criminals. Like Han Solo. We're a couple of Han Solos.
