Only if it's a pain in the ass to get. It is stealing and somehow that was lost on an entire generation.
So you think it's stealing, but still do it if it's hard to get?
The contents of a bank's safe are also a pain to get.
Yes. I don't delude myself like much of this thread.
It's literally not stealing. Blaming an entire generation because you're too lazy to look up the definition of a word. Lol, classic.

You are like a conservative justice justifying right to life law. Willfully remaining ignorance to the creators and artists it harms.
Can you explain how it's stealing instead of bringing up weird American politics?
Thought so
Wat?
It's like saying you harm a musician if you hear he's music in a mall.
Lmaoooooo
More like you hopping a fence and sneaking past a security guard and stealing food and drink after someone spent time and money to rent the venue, pay the staff, and make sure food and drink is available.
But whatever you need to tell yourself.
Creators and artists ? Lol I guess you meant shareholders, producers & executives
If you pay 20$, you're lucky if the real artist behind your shit earns 1ct.
It's LITERALLY copying, no ressource is lost or wasted in the process.
You're partially correct. You're stealing from a whole bunch of people.
Don't worry, I delete it after so it's just borrowing ;)
Anyway I don't intend to stop
Ahh so we're back to conservative style ignorance ๐๐คฃ
Why ignorance ? I would do it even if there was an impact, as long as i'm fucking a US company and any kind of greedy corp, no problem
But sadly there isnt, or else I would download anything 100 times to bankrupt them for fun
