    If Buying Isn’t Owning, Piracy Isn’t Stealing.

    The vast majority of the new content cannot be obtained on blurays anymore. So the only way to “Buy” the content is “licensing” digital copies of it that still has the verbiage of “buy” on the “store” that you purchase it from.

    Yeah, no pity for the piracy.

      That’s why nobody got charged with theft, they were charged with criminal copyright infringement. Which carries a much larger punishment than just stealing a disc from your local big box store.

      You don’t “buy” the content, you buy a license to use the content in a way that the copyright holder seems acceptable. And if you don’t like it, fuck you, cause corporations are more people than people.

        Copyright infringement is the act of SHARING it. Not the act of downloading it. That’s why they were charged with that. Has nothing to do with the act of obtaining pirated content.

        And if you don’t like it, fuck you

        Nah, fuck you.

        Edit: /s on the last part in case it wasn’t clear, cause… well text.
