your mom pirated you

>>715336003 (OP)
the product isnt being stolen, the money you should pay for it is.
its not hard to grasp, retard.

Just pirated this nerd's post

>>715336416
another win

>>715336416
the post was free, you didnt pirate anything.

you're dumb as a fucking rock

>>715336003 (OP)
brb just copying a movie

>>715336003 (OP)
Don't care you brownoid thief.

>>715336003 (OP)
corpos arent stealing your date, nothing is being removed

>>715336272
prices are for products, not the copy of the copy of the copy of the product.

>>715336272
>the product isnt being stolen, the money you should pay for it is.
I pay for products, not for copies.

>>715336656
How appropriate, you fight like a cow.

>>715337026
it's not a license if I have ownership of the file I run. If its a license you're selling and not ownership of the file, then I'm pirating your game.

>>715337026
Why do I have to pay for permission to do things? Am I a slave?

>>715337026
the company who sells licenses can't force you to not make a copy of the game like they are doing. they only create the service of license distribution, they can't force you to use it

>>715337319
sounds like a commie gobbledygook to me senpai

>>715336842
This product is copies.

>>715337358
Assuming you have permission to force others to work for you without compensation is you making them into slaves

you wouldn't pirate this post

>>715337602
Actually its the libertarian way. Don't like my piracy? Stop depending on the government to sue me and vote with your wallet if you wanna stop piracy.

>>715337674
I wouldn't, because this joke has been done thousands of times.

>>715337618
the company doesn't pay anything to make the copies, you are making the copy of the game when buying it. Then what they are doing is not compatible with their own logic and every copy the company allows should be by default free. You can't sell a copy you don't make

>>715336272
Interesting. Then I'm going to pirate 100,000,000 copies of Assassin's Creed to steal all of Ubisoft's money.

>>715337358
worse you're a libertarian

>>715337674
Already did

Why can't you just admit that you're a cheap nigger that doesn't want to pay for things? Nobody believes the mental gymnastics.

>>715339204
where is the thing that you are supposed to pay for?

>>715339204
Mental gymnastics is saying that I can't revoke my payment if they revoke my license.

>>715336003 (OP)
>sells you a copy of a game and takes it away

you wouldn't pirate this post

>>715337847
>You can't sell a copy you don't make
Who the fuck told you that?

>>715341847
>copy a book into 100 products to sell
>you buy a copy of the book, 99 left
this is fine
>buy the license to make a copy into your own computer. the company doesn't lose the product but gains the money because they allowed you to make a copy that never existed before they allowed you to make a copy
this doesn't make any sense.

>>715342404
A license has a unique authentication key associated with it. Checkmate, communists.

>>715337026
Or alternatively I could just copy something that I have no intention of buying
Then nobody has been defrauded and I still get the free shit
Seems pretty good

>>715336003 (OP)
copyright is the biggest scam
>b-but dev costs
FOSS had proven you wrong

>>715342475
this can be copied too

you wouldn't pirate this post

>>715342621
If piracy didn't exist I'm sure you would buy a few games you "had no intention of buying"

>>715336206
>>715336797
I'm pirating your mom's vagina

>>715337026
>game costs money
>it’s also available on the internet for free

Why would I spend money on it? I don’t even know if I’ll like it and I’ve got bills to pay

>>715337026
Wait so if I pirate a game, I get $70 put into my account? Holy hell based no wonder people pirate.

>>715343212
>I don’t even know if I’ll like it
You're not doing sufficient research.

>>715343029
I absolutely would not, and despite your pie in the sky dreaming, piracy does exist, so it's a pointless thought experiment anyway

>>715343287
Playing it is probably the best way to find out.

>>715343413
Good thing most games nowadays either have free demos or allow you to easily refund them so long as you don't have too many hours played on them.

>>715336003 (OP)
You do realize the reason you have anything to pirate in the first place is because non-pirates fund the thing you take for granted? It's literal leech behavior.

>>715344351
so the problem isn't the price of the thing? I'll happily buy a Sprite bottle for 2 bucks instead of getting the ingredients to make my own soda. But they also want the markets to be sustainable in the 3rd World when a game costs an entire salary

>>715344637
Fair pricing is a whole other thing, I do think there are scenarios and times where piracy can be justified from a consumer rights stand point, but some people here believe that piracy is justified by itself.

>>715336003 (OP)

>>715344989
imo piracy of videogames is justified as long as they selectively apply the law. Websites are closed only when Nintendo starts crying about it but they always do it strategically to increase the sales. this shouldn't be allowed

>>715336003 (OP)
You don’t understand, publishers need that revenue so they can fire the developers who made the game and outsource their jobs. That is why piracy is morally wrong.

>>715345739
Agreed

>>715337358
You have to pay for the permission to have sex with a hooker.

>>715344351
What do you mean Anon? Piracy is a victimless crime so if everyone did it there would be no negative consequence!

>>715336003 (OP)
>this doesn't apply to immigration for some strange reason!

>>715346006
Exactly. If something is only worth pirating, then it deserves death. Any product that's worth it's salt will have paying customers, pirate or not.

i no longer can enjoy games i don't own

>>715336416
Delete this right now, you are stealing (You)'s from him.
@fbi
@moot
DO SOMETHING

>>715346178
you need to stop killing games

>>715346407
>those games are shit that's why I'm pirating them so I can play them

>>715336003 (OP)
I DEMAND PIGGIES

>>715346562
If only anon had made his post an NFT. Nobody would be able to pirate it!

>>715336003 (OP)
By this logic, counterfiet money is perfectly fine, only robbing it outright would be wrong

>>715336003 (OP)
The only issue with piracy for the company is how easy it is or not.
If you know anything about porn games for instance, you can get virtually any of them for free from any number of sites.
This also means every dollar a porn game dev makes was made with the intention of directly supporting the dev, which is actually incredible market data.
That being said they would still make more if pirating was harder and on sketchier sites.

If piracy is sufficiently difficult there will be no impact on cash flow since for the vast majority of people buying the game is easier than pirating and anyone who pirates at that point would never buy the game in the first place.

>Needing a bunch of faggot justifications for just wanting free shit

The real reason shills don't like pirates.

Piracy is theft
AAA corporations deserve to be stolen from

>>715336003 (OP)

>>715336272
so it's not theft then, thanks for agreeing

>>715345883
Who says I need permission?

>>715349132
But if we lived in a world where we could do that, why would we still live in the current system and use money?

>>715337358
>Why do I have to pay for permission to do things? Am I a slave?
Do you live as a part of a society? Then yes, you are.

>>715349132
Deserved it for not offering test rides

>>715349132
I still don't know if this comic is pro or anti piracy
if everyone could just multiply everything they want, the world wouldn't look like it would today

Piracy is like walking up to a hamburger stand and smelling the food, you get enjoyment out of it but the hamburger is still there after you leave.

the free market should adapt to magical powers, not the other way around

Your heart remains empty despite the infinite supply.

>>715336656
i had death stranding on epic games from when it went free and i still ended up pirating it because i couldn't be assed to install the launcher. I didn't miss out on the online shit since i played it when I moved in to new apartment and didn't have internet for a couple of weeks anyways.

>>715336003 (OP)
I will never understand anti piracy shills. Most people who pirate were never going to buy the game in the first place. At the very least they'll be introduced to the franchise. For indie devs it's somewhat understandable (still pirating tho) but for AAA games there's no reason to be against it on every single level

>>715349132
Access to magical powers should not be a public right.

>>715336003 (OP)
you don't need to justify pirating. people who do that are just as retarded as anti-piracy people.
if you want to pirate something, just do it, if you don't, then don't. no one gives a shit

>>715352948
Stop trying to justify your actions and just admit you don't want to pay for games. That's all we ask for.

>>715354058
>pirates don't pay for games
Retardation of shills.

>>715354058
nowhere in my post did i imply that I (me) need some reason to pirate. Here's how it goes
>see random game on the interwebs
>pirate it
there are no mental gymnastics, i just do it. I was talking about people in general

>>715352948
>Most people who pirate were never going to buy the game in the first place
That's always been a massive cope. Most people who pirate absolutely would have spent money on at least some of the games they pirated if it they weren't able to get it for free. Pretending otherwise is silly.

>>715354910
not me. However if i genuinely like a game, I will 100% buy it especially if there's an online mode i'm interested it, pic rel are games i bought after pirating. Disregard XYZ since most of that is shovelware i got 10 years ago and f2p games

If piracy isn't owning, theft is not killing games.

>>715336272
>>715337026
So when I go to my friend’s house to play games, I’m now stealing money because I didn’t pay for for the game?
