Piracy is always stealing. Y’all can keep trying to spin it if it helps, but its pure copium.
So you're just being equivocal and trolling?
Simply stating the obvious. You still seem to be under the impression that I'm attacking piracy lmfao... I'm just calling it what it is. I endorse any kind of piracy, I am simply under no delusion that it's moral or not stealing.
ELI5 then. How is it obvious that piracy is stealing? How is piracy not moral?
Taking something that does not belong to you. Even if you disagree with business practices, that does not give you right to a product.
taking something that does not belong to you does not explain how it is obvious that piracy is stealing, and suggests you don't actually know the difference.
Do you know the difference between copyright infringement / patent infringement and theft?
Care to try again?
