"Piracy can't be stealing if paying for it isn't owning"

This is increasingly how it feels, when streaming shows disappear for tax reasons and things you "own" digitally become inaccessible.

Thank you @Illuminatus for this quote.

By that logic piracy isnt stealing, its more like forced slavery since your stealing peoples time rather than a physical object.

@freemo @gamesbymanuel @Illuminatus its pretty messed up to compare piracy to slavery. Slavery is one of the worst things one can do to another. Piracy is not that at all.

@norapink @gamesbymanuel @Illuminatus

Yea its a fairly hyperbolic analogy, but then again so is the idea thst it isnt stealing.

@norapink @freemo @gamesbymanuel @Illuminatus RMS argues one shouldn't call copyright infringement piracy since actual high seas piracy, while not as common anymore, is a very serious crime.
