>It's OK for me to steal this meat, I wasn't going to pay for it anyway. It's almost the weekend which you'll spend torrenting software and games. Yet no one has ever been able to figure out how to justify that it isn't literally exactly the same as stealing.
Copyright infringement is stealing. Even the GPL wouldn't be possible without copyright. Free Software is protected by the same ideas as everything else. You're a hypocrite if you think companies should respect the GPL but you don't have to respect copyright on other works.

no one really gives a shit lol, pirates will keep pirating and you wont change that lmao
Landon Hall
Piracy LITERALLY isn't stealing. And it isn't copyright infringement either. It's piracy.
Levi Cook
Oh look it's THIS thread again.
Hudson Harris
Pillaging on the high seas and copying data are two entirely different things
Noah Taylor
Actually games will be unpirateable in the future
Grayson Fisher
>stealing Removing something from the possession of its owner. >Copyright infringement Profiting from copyrighted ideas. >piracy Copying a file.
Oliver Price
Do you think I contemplate the moral ramifications of flipping to the cold side of the pillow? No one cares nerd.
Isaac Reed
Actually games are unplayable now. They are shittty walking simulators with pressing f button.
Bentley Brown
People have been telling that for 20 years. Many multiplayer-only games are unpirateable though, or rather not worth pirating.
Luke Myers
>people pirate software >copy protection gets introduced >people crack protection after a while >new protection feature gets introduced >people crack... if this back and forth showed anything, it's that the only uncracked stuff is what nobody is interested in.
but yeah, you already see the market shifting, AAA games get online features to justify always on. And the real money is made through lootboxes or shark cards
Nathan Allen
Fuck off shill

releasing games on PC is unprofitable. i don't know why game devs continue to do it instead of just releasing them exclusively on the consoles which are unhacked.
The Xbox brand is more and more becoming a W10 system, and something not being hacked yet doesn't mean never will be. It is also not the only system, and if I were to list "psp" and "DS" and other systems you'd probably move the goal posts. I don't feel like playing that game, but it's safe to say you're wrong
Jackson Baker
>justify that it isn't literally exactly the same as stealing No, it's not, and every time you claim that you sound like a fat blue haired dyke calling everything rape because "it sounds harsher".
Piracy is indeed illegal and a crime, but you're using the wrong name to describe it on purpose, and all you will do is create more pirates with this stupid behavior.

Of course. Optical media is obsolete, so there is no reason to ship boxed games on ships. Thus they can't be stolen by somali pirates.
Eli Martin
well i have a friend in russia who says no one owns consoles because they are forced to then buy the games so everyone there just games on PC
Camden Fisher
I'm dropping from torrenting shit from the web though. I had a trojan alert on my Windows 10 box today about blah blah blah svchost.exe is pretty pwned nigger, so I'm gonna have to format that box and use trusted sources from now on and wipe my archive and redownload genuine shit. I like free games, but I'm not dealing with viruses and shit and having my info leaked n shit.
Leo Hernandez
I'll probably just go back to Win7 Pro anyways, Windows 10 is just garbage down to its very very core.
Zachary Brooks
I'm sure your friend is the only credible source on the scene. Nevermind the GameCube hacks and free games through things like dios mio or whenever it's called, DS hacks and being able to download games for free right from Nintendo servers. Similar things happen for psp as well, I believe. Luckily, consoles/most new games are utter garbage

The only thing I don't like about piracy is the reaction companies did in response as described by You can't really blame them though, it's the best model for getting the best profit in this climate of gamers who pirate any thing they can. In the end whatever a company does, it does it for maximizing profits.

copying != stealing
Sebastian Gomez
>Yet no one has ever been able to figure out how to justify that it isn't literally exactly the same as stealing. The US Supreme Court did following a discussion among many businessmen, lawyers, and economist. Their opinion is the only one that matters since the idea of anti-piracy comes from USA. >Copyright infringement is stealing. Saying so in court is a fineable offense.
Copyright doesn't have a monopoly on advancement, advancement existed long before the notion of copyright ever came to be.
Also it's not stealing if it's pirating from filthy foreigners, it's conquest.
Mason Howard
who cares
Thomas Martinez
If we could Jesus the shit out of food and just multiply it miraculously with nearly no effort whatsoever, giving a copy of whatever food you have to family members, neighbours or even random strangers who forgot their food would be literally basic social politeness.
Because it'd be the most efficient approach to feeding society.
Asher Hill
>Because it'd be the most efficient approach to feeding society. Nope. The most efficient approach is taxing overweight people for being fat pigs who eat beyond what their body needs and leave a major carbon footprint due to their obesity, and put that money into a food ration project which distributes daily rations of a healthy nutritional combo meal which is enough for survival and preserving proper health to the registered poor and homeless. It's a distribution problem which only lacks a funding system, and fat ham galaxies are the best justified source of funding.
Connor Taylor
central planning to the rescue. it failed every other time but I have a feeling about this idea.
