Nope.

Maybe.

Yes.

Depends on your legal jurisdiction, but here our anti-piracy legislation does not make watching / listening to streaming content illegal whatever the source, therefore it is not piracy. What's priacy is defined in law, not by personal opinion. Different countries will have different definitions, but the youtube example is certainly not universal. And neither is, I suspect, the old games online thing, though you might need to expand on what you mean by that for me to be able to come to a conclusion.

So is it alright to torrent a movie if you have an old VHS copy somewhere in the basement or bought the tape for 25c in a garage sale?
Same for games, find a bunch of old N64 games in a garage sale, does that give you the right to download the N64 roms to play on pc?
Should I not have payed for GOG's Baldur's gate II version, since I have the original?

I've used the MAME emulator as well, tons of fun. Yet although I owned some of the games on different formats, ofcourse I didn't own any of the original arcade machines. It's a grey area. When does a game become abandonware.

Lol they're all millionaires?

How many of them are millionaires exactly? There are hundreds of people working on a CoD game. How many are millionaires?

As far as music is concerned, the piracy issue is more of a historical problem rather than a current one. This is because a lot of people who used to pirate music don't have to anymore because of streaming services. See, back when the internet was still somewhat new to most people and when sites like Napster first started to appear, it went viral. In the early 2000's, the music industry actually did see a huge drop in sales around the same time piracy became rampet. Since musicians already already get screwed over by the major labels, this meant that they were getting screwed even more and it also put future artist's careers into jeapordy because the companies may not want to invest as much in future artist's as much as they did with the ones in the past. In fact, that actually happened. Look at music videos in the late 1980's and throughout the 1990's and compare them to what you saw in the 2000's. Those older videos had an actual budget. The newer ones did not. So when it comes to music, piracy actually did hurt the music industry.

I don't think piracy was as much of an issue outside the music industry but there is another issue wih pirating that does impact every facet of entertainment. The very act of it and the very idea of it gives the major corporations an excuse to screw over the consumer. It allows them to use it as an excuse to exclusde content, charge for extra content, or whatever. 

Then there's the final issue. The money issue. The most common justification is that you're stealing from millionaires and billionaires. But it's still stealing. Why should there be a double standard? Why should stealing only be considered immoral for one group of people and not another? You're basicaly punishing rich people just because they're rich. That isn't right. So it isn't an issue of who has what amount of money. It's principle.

Just a random thought.
For the people that hate pirating of software, why does DRM get so much hate if it can stem the amount of piracy. If MS had went with a version of DRM for the Xbox One that would be embedded into disc instead of 24 hr online check ins would people have been better with that?

Never go full retard op.

I don't mind pirates as long as they keep their mouths shut and don't complain about the stuff they didn't pay for or throw lousy excuses in my face.

LOL, the law is very funny.

Legal: Downloading file from youtube to a temporary location and then deleting it afterwards.

Illegal: Downloading file from site to a temporary location and then deleting it afterwards.

Stealing is wrong, just because companies are wealthy doesn't mean you can take what you think they don't deserve. There rich for a reason, can you imagine a world where Walmart, Apple, MS and just about every other wealthy corporation went bankrupt? The world would fall apart, without money, they cant innovate, or supply us with good quality products.

Money makes the world go around. Its a simple rule of life.

In any security class they will tell you that it is impossible to prevent all crime/theft/unauthorized access. Human psychology is based on risk vs reward. You need to make the opportunity cost of the action you are trying to prevent high enough to reduce the number of people that will try.

Piracy will always happen. There are always people that are immoral and think they are entitled to what they want at other peoples expense. However, by implenting DRM you raise that opportunity cost by requiring more work or education on how to pirate. Instead of of the whole family including grandma stealing its just greesy cousin Vinny.

Piracy is wrong. I don't give a fuq if you never intended to buy it. You didn't pay, and therefore have ZERO rights to that media. Go choke on something.
