That guy wouldn't shoot you, he isn't even black.
>making a perfect copy just by touching it and transfering the idea to the much smaller metal item that wasnt property of the car owner
Thats some "The Thing" level transmutation right there. That guy needs to be studied.
>sure, i have no problem with a copy of my car. have fun :)
> he still breaks the law for some shitty, pirated game
You really think that game is free? All those emails from your internet provider say otherwise. It's time to face the truth
I hope pirates hang on the day of the rope.
>not black
This image is so unrealistic
Alright friend, I hope you enjoy driving your new car, it's pretty great! :) By the way, mind making a copy for a few friends of mine?
>"Don't mind me, user, just unionizing this car here."
copying a binary switch configuration does not equal theft
plus 3d printers and open source cars exist, OP pic related is a fucking retard.
If he could create a physical copy of my car sure why the fuck not
I don't wish them death.
I think it'd be so much greater if, in a perfect future, there was some way to scan their HDs and cross-reference with Internet traffic from their ISP and compile a full list of every single game they've ever pirates. Then they get a bill from the govt and if they don't/can't pay, they either go to prison or have their wages garnished until it's all paid off.
Impossible, I know, but fuck that would be glorious and hilarious.
>emails from your internet provider
What kind of Orwellian, third world shithole do you have to live in for people to get on your ass over pirating fucking video games?
...
It's like all those home security commercials where all the robbers are white guys.
>Muh ISP blocks
have pirated games for the last 15 years, Never once received an e-mail.
That's fine friend, will take you a lot of time to copy it though.
If you actually could "copy" a car then car-makers would go out of business. You would effectively be stealing the design of the car from the manufacturer. Hence it would be theft.
Which is exactly the same reason that all forms of intellectual property are protected by the law, and that if you copy any of them and distribute them / obtain them for free, it's theft.
Bootleg/pirate copy of a book? Theft.
Bootleg/pirate copy of a movie? Theft.
Bootleg/pirate copy of a CD? Theft.
Bootleg/pirate copy of a video game? Theft.
Maybe once you've graduated middle school you'll understand.
STOP RIGHT THERE, CRIMINAL CUM
And I am supposed to give a fuck if the car makers go out of business or not? I got a car right here, and a man who can make infinite copies of it.
What's the need for car-makers then, eh fuckboy? Same applies for video games and anything else.
>Mad babs that are upset that pirates didn't pay for a video game.
Finally. A fucking great example.
nigger I've had fucking COMCAST for the past decade and pirate shit regularly, they haven't contacted me once
You're right, we can just infinitely copy the same games over and over again. Genius.
Who cares, they could just copy money instead.
Yep, new games are flaming pieces of shit anyways.
Infinite copies of old good games is a brilliant thing.
>2016
>he STILL thinks piracy is not stealing because muh copy
Only white guys are competent enough to rob homes without getting caught while people are in the home.
I don't give a fuck what you do, I'm just telling you that it's theft. Literally the same as if you went into a shop and stole a handbag.
You're right a lot of piraters don't get caught and neither do a lot of shoplifters, but that's a completely separate issue.
The point is that they are both theft.
If anyone could just make copies of cars, why would car companies build them? And what would give them a right to sell them for thousands of dollars?
dont worry "i" pirated your mom last night
But I didn't steal the handbag, it's still right there on the shelf.
Stealing implies the original is gone.
In your case, the original is NOT gone.
Try again Jimmy.
pirating something is more akin to printing counterfeit money
Not him
But how retarded are you ?
Piracy is not theft, it's piracy.
Insults do not constitute as arguments. Try again.
Objects that can be infinitely copied with minimal effort have a monetary value close to 0.
so, now thanks to the inflation we all lose
thanks a lot piratefags!

IT'S NOT FAIR
Copying money wouldn't work. If you could copy money and this copied money would be genuine, the whole economy would fucking collapse overnight.
don't mind me, just pirating you officer
>In common usage, theft is the taking of another person's property without that person's permission or consent with the intent to deprive the rightful owner of it.
en.wikipedia.org
Intellectual property is property in the eyes of the law. Stealing intellectual property deprives the owner of that property's financial value. I.e. it deprives the owner of the price of the item.
TRY AGAIN
JIMMY

>it's a closet moralfags try to make themselves feel better by pretending piracy isn't stealing episode
It's stealing, it's illegal, but no one gives a shit so just do it and stop lying to yourselves you fucking pansies
T R Y: A G A I N: J I M M Y:
>car pirate approaches
>pirates your car
>you both have cars
I wouldnt mind people pirating my car
Looks like you missed a post.
See You are a thief for replicating their copyrighted product,a thief of intellectual property, a thief nonetheless
>theft is the taking of another person's property
I took nothing.
>with the intent to deprive the rightful owner of it
I deprived nobody of nothing, the owner still has it.
Try again. Jimmy.
J-Jesus Christ...which one is real?!
Stan, which one is real you?! Answer me!
*BANG*

If we were at the point where we could copy everything effortlessly and without resource then the economy would shift away from profit driven business and move on to something else, maybe a meritocracy.
OR patent the fucking shit out of copying technology and blow up Africa when a humanitarian group inevitably steals the design and tries to end world hunger.
>anons on Sup Forums are actually this stupid
What you can steal is the license to the game, for example the serial code. You only copy the game data. So if you use a crack without a serial, you didn't steal anything.
didn't read.
plus your argument is stupid cause the music industry is still going despite napster.
>but muh law
fuck the police.
Stealing a car from an average person is not the same as stealing from some mega-corporation. No sane person should give a damn about the latter.
How is it that people 400 years ago understood the difference between LARCENY and THEFT and how IP theft and copyright is still theft, yet you... sitting on this marvel of human ingenuity with literally all the world's knowledge at your fingertips inside that magic box are still too stupid to figure out that piracy is theft?
Your example would be somewhere near reality if this was a car factory that would make cars by just building one and then copying it over and over again and selling the copies, and honestly it would be some shit tier car anyway
It's the socialist poison that plagues the Software industry which makes these retards so delusional
>If you actually could "copy" a car then car-makers would go out of business.
No they'd just shift focus form mass production to mass variety to make their strain of cars the most popular and thus profitable. Post scarcity of something does not mean an end of demand for something, only that quantity is no longer a factor in the market.
Friend has received 3 letters already from his ISP for pirating and I had received one about 10 years ago when I was young and would pirate like a monster.
We're in America.
Third world countries would have to worry less if anything you idiot.
This shit isn't even new or farfetched, you're doing something illegal and your ISP can see what you do on the internet. And the ISP themselves don't really care, it's the copyright owners who complain to them, then they complain to you.
Also, I want to know the reasoning behind paying for goods that you can get for free.
Man A offers you Good X for free.
Man B offers you the same identical Good X, but for 50 dollars.
You willingly opt to go with Man B. Why?
...
car companies would make 1 car for fame recognition and award money. Car enthusiasts would build cars because you wouldnt need a factory, everybody would just pirate that one car
Everybody could be a car company if you could pirate cars, it would literally make cars better.
Car makers would be rich as fuck celebrities like actors, paid to design and build that one car
look fucker if we could just copy everything then there would be no need for money. everything would be done for fun
>industry exists despite theft
>ergo theft doesn't affect industry
I see someone's mother smoked during pregnancy.
b-but I only made a copy, i-i didn't steal the original s-source. i-i bet you pay for your games lolololol
>No need for the mask my friend, if you just want to copy my wallet with money I don't mind, here, have a good day.
YOU TOOK THE FINANCIAL VALUE OF THE PRODUCT
YOU TOOK THE OWNER'S MONEY
THAT'S WHAT YOU TOOK
YOU TOOK THEIR MONEY

Are you guys retarded?
YOU COULD JUST COPY YOUR OWN MONEY AND BE RICH!
THEN THE ECONOMY TANKS DUE TO INFLATION.
NOW NO ONE IS RICH!
GREAT!
>YOU TOOK THE OWNER'S MONEY
I did what? But he didn't have that money to begin with, how can I take something that doesn't exist?
Am I a wizard now?
>Don't mind me!
What a cuck. Do you let Jamal "pirate" your wife too?
I was KIDDING
>YOU TOOK THE FINANCIAL VALUE OF THE PRODUCT
gonna pirate games till every publisher/developer is bankrupt
No,you are just retarded
Like I mentioned
You killed the real stan, you are a murderer now.
hand over your badge
Man-hours = money
When you stop being a free-loading piece of shit you'll understand.
>YOU TOOK THE OWNER'S MONEY
Time to pirate millions of PS3 games, Sony is finished.
DO NOT SAVE THIS IMAGE
It's copyrighted and therefore it's illegal to save it on your HDD.
If you save this image you are no better than a theft.
Whats the legality of emulating cars?
one could say IP law is theft of the application of ideas from the common man.
they already tried patenting nature, how long til faggots like you make it possible.
>Stealing a car
>Taking something from someone
>That person no longer has a car
>"Stealing" music
>Copying the files and putting online for everyone to download
>Original file still intact
>Everyone benefits
Nice argument bro
Get a proxy you fucking cunt.
Do you have any idea how much copied monet you'd have to create for the economy to tank
Besides the US dollar is already a Fiat Currency
I'M SAYING WE'RE GOING TO FUCKING NUKE AFRICA
HOW COULD YOU DO IT BOB, YOU KILLED HIM.
YOU ARE OFF THE FORCE
>I don't care if video game companies go out of business
>I'll just keep copying the same game over and over again
wew
Anti-piracyfags on suicide watch.
You're a cheeki breeki but the same argument against pirates was used against emulators, used games and freeware games as well. Got to latch on to anything you can use to convince gullible stock owners that your product is not shit it just doesn't sell because of piracy/emulation/secondhand-market/refunding.
But where is the ™©®
Oh it's not there,it's not copyrighted
>I don't care if video game companies go out of business
Yes, and in reality I would prefer if they did go out of business. Better for the entire world on the long run.
But I want free stuff
Who cares, food, water, and housing can be copied too.
>pirate software
>the original user can keep using his own copy
>"pirate" a car
>the original user can no longer drive his own car
yeah, nah
I'm not giving Jamal my wife, just a copy of her, he can do whatever the fuck he wants with a souless copy.
What entitles you to the works of anyone else, you socialist cuck? What contract did you imagine anyone signed that said from birth any contribution they made deserved no fair recompense because everyone in humanity should is owed the fruits of your labor for free?
