@Oisteink@feddit.nltoTechnology@lemmy.world•Pluralistic: "If buying isn't owning, piracy isn't stealing"English34•5 months ago
The fact that no product is missing anywhere means it’s not stealing.
If you rent your car from Mercedes and I make a copy of it, the only change is that I’ve not copied your car, I’ve copied Mercedes’.
I’m not talking about payment, I’m talking about if it’s stealing or not. It might be copyright infringement depending on local law, but it’s not stealing. Selling a copy might be counterfeiting.
