If purchasing isn’t owning, then piracy isn’t stealing
  • The penal code necessarily uses incredibly narrow definitions with very specific verbiage.

    Using the word steal in OPs title is common use of the word, which aligns with the dictionary definition, they certainly are not quoting a legal definition

    Get outta here with this dumb shit.

    So much 'verbal' diarrahhea to try to make yourself feel better about what you're doing.

    I pirate shit, that is a form a theft. Cope with it or stop doing it.

  • If purchasing isn’t owning, then piracy isn’t stealing
  • You do understand the difference between penal code and the definition of a word, no? Surely the reason why the two are not at all even slightly interchangeable is plainly clear to anyone of reasonable intelligence.

  • If purchasing isn’t owning, then piracy isn’t stealing
  • I guess you can't steal anything when you just decide to limit the definition of the word.

    But if we're in reality and using the way words are actually defined then yes you can steal something intangible, and no it does not require someone to be deprived of something.

  • A teenage girl who says she discovered a camera in an airplane bathroom is suing American Airlines
  • How exactly is one supposed to just know someone's a criminal? And what do they think the flight attendants job description is?

    Throw the guy in jail, terrible it happened. But I dont see how they're gonna get anywhere in that lawsuit

  • If purchasing isn’t owning, then piracy isn’t stealing
  • Theft isn't specific to property, you can steal services too.

    The water is certainly muddy with digital media, but this is just another oversimplified argument.

    If you need to do mental gymnastics to feel OK about pirating then...idk find something better than this.

    See comments below for more mental gymnastics
