ottoturk pirates get constantly punished for their insolence

Nothing wrong with piracy. It keeps the economy going strong and healthy by encouraging competition

Pirating isn't illegal in my country, only hosting is

>literal theft
>good for economy

It's not theft, it's testing. It also encourages innovation.

Remember Deus Ex HR? Everyone was shitting on it and wouldn't have bought it if they hadn't tested the leak

literal theft would mean that you're removing someone of something when you take it. piracy is copying it. still illegal, not the same.

if you get your car to get fixed and then not pay to the mechanic you are a thief

you stole that man time and services

you can't steal services user. theft is in reference to removing physical goods from someone. it's all wrong anyway i'm not justifying piracy, it just bugs me when people compare apples to oranges. You don't get charged with theft when pirating, you get charged with copyright infringement.

>"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."

i dont see the world physical anywere user

no but I do see "deprive the rightful owner of it," which digital piracy does not do.

>some faggot trying to redefine theft by using car mechanic analogies

Wew

>deprive the rightful owner of it,
you depriving the owner from the money they would get from the transaction of selling you the game

At least it's not food analogies

by the same logic you're doing the same thing by not buying or playing their game. digital piracy is wrong but it's not legally theft dipshit, get over it.

the diference is that you are not enjoying the product if you dont buy it

if you dont want to buy the game why are you playing it?

I'm not arguing in support of piracy, it's wrong. I've said like 3 times now user. But it's not theft, it's copyright infringement because digital games are technically information, not actual goods.

piracy is 100% great and i support it completely

unless you have total market saturation then it benefits you, meaning the only ones who would post false flag anti-piracy threads are faggots working for big publishers

fuck you op

YOU
WOULDN'T
STEAL
A
CAR

Snitches get stitches, chump

You can only report seeders and even then nothing happens. Just accept it and move on.

>reporting pirates

>2006: Do what you want 'cause a pirate be free, you are a pirate!
>2016: R-E-S-P-E-C-T, please respect authority~

What happened to Sup Forums?

>cant even drink on some states
>think his opinion is worth shit

Not the same guys as 10 years ago.

>if you get your car to get fixed and then not pay to the mechanic you are a thief

Actually that's fraud

You are entering into a contract that you are set not to honour.

It became a marketing and PR platform.

Actual pirates in the age of sail were also good for economy. Higher risks for traders meant higher incomes also more volatile market.

Basically any war-like events stimulate economy.

one of the dumbest things was a few years back when every two-bit shitty comedian pundit in all media started chortling how piracy was back.

as if piracy had ever gone away, ever.
