You're right, I got frustrated with work and took it out on you, I apologize.

The penal code necessarily uses incredibly narrow definitions with very specific verbiage.

Using the word steal in OPs title is common use of the word, which aligns with the dictionary definition, they certainly are not quoting a legal definition

Get outta here with this dumb shit.

So much 'verbal' diarrahhea to try to make yourself feel better about what you're doing.

I pirate shit, that is a form a theft. Cope with it or stop doing it.

To selectively focus on one small sliver of the definition of the word, ignoring the full meaning of the word and the context to push your agenda? Smells like propaganda.

I guess you can't steal anything when you just decide to limit the definition of the word.

But if we're in reality and using the way words are actually defined then yes you can steal something intangible, and no it does not require someone to be deprived of something.

Theft isn't specific to property, you can steal services too.

The water is certainly muddy with digital media, but this is just another oversimplified argument.

If you need to do mental gymnastics to feel OK about pirating then...idk find something better than this.

See comments below for more mental gymnastics

That's not the point: paying people for any random thing they decide to do doesn't make sense and doesn't work.

Pirating games isn't nearly as attractive as other media. Big studio Games are usually released in a broken state and pirate sources rarely keep titles updated.

Sounds more like somebody doesn't want to spend as much on small arms ammo than found a superior infantry doctrine

Because its cold and refreshing? Ice water stays cold longer than not ice water.

Too perfect.

So many of you running around thinking you can tell fuck from all.

Hint: you just can't.
