Pirating is theft and should have you sent to prison, if not executed.

Would it be alright to take a picture of the Mona Lisa and hang it as a poster in your own museum?

If you have to call your own post fpbp, then it isn't. Kill yourself.

Looking at formula 1 online is different from actually going scuba diving with sharks

>>715436873
Why not? It's your picture, and you didn't touch nor did anything to the original.

>>715436704 (OP)
Unless you're pirating a product that is no longer available for purchase, I just assume you're brown. That's worse than being a thief.

>>715437927
whoa whoa, just because i masturbate to gay hentai sex you assume i have homosexual tendencies??

>>715440113
you're a jew

bring back the piggy version

piracy removes the sale, dumbass. you faggots act like this only because you're neets who never made anything. if someone was copying a game you made you'd probably be seething.

>>715436873
you're not gonna believe this

What if you had 0 intention of buying it, is piracy still theft?
Or if you don’t even touch the game at all, which will have 100% the same effect to the publisher, is that still theft?

>>715440868
It's the "theft" of the potential sale -- or the opportunity cost I suppose would be a more technical way to phrase it.

>>715440930
Ok then, answer the question.

>ITS JUST A COPY BRO

ok let me get a copy of your credit card

>don't mind me, just pirating this identity
>what? I left the original intact, you can't complain!

>>715436704 (OP)
Pirates who try to justify piracy piss me off.

t. pirate

>>715436704 (OP)
it still removes potential money from the developer

>>715440930
yes, you fucking moron. your gymnastic hypotheticals don't change the fact that you are invoking ownership over something you didn't pay for. it doesn't fucking matter if you play it or not. you can't guarantee that to begin with. jesus christ i hate retards who treat a hypothetical as an absolute.

>>715441618
>invoking ownership
I own my pirated games the same way I own the games I paid for.

>>715436873
I think Leonardo's copyright has expired for quite a long time

>>715441725
you don't own them at all. you stole them. by definition it's not under your ownership. learn the difference between possession and ownership.

>>715441857
>you don't own them at all
Right, like games you paid for.

Content Sharing (aka piracy):
>Making an exact replica of the car with a copy&paste gun, but now you and the original guy have a car

>>715436704 (OP)
piracy isn't stealing, it's piracy. same as murder or vandalism isn't stealing.

>>715442178
>point copy&paste gun at your wallet, copying
your credit cards, social security, health card, etc

woah so radical! thanks dude!

The term piracy isn’t even accurate. It implies people got onto a truck to steal physical copies of software to sell it on the black market.
Call it content sharing. That’s more accurate and the term piracy was invented by companies to stigmitize what is effectively you showing your friends a movie they don’t own.

>>715442350
Does a car have access to bank accounts? Do games?

Piracy is a crime but a very low risk one which is why otherwise low-time preference risk-adverse and mostly white early netizens would often do it. They were also smart enough to not snitch on themselves about theft regardless of how petty it is. Normalfags and third worlders must snitch on themselves and tell the whole world that they are "defeating capitalism" and/or coping about being poor. And of course the obnoxious DRM we deal with now comes from normalfags giving companies free reports of lost sales that they otherwise couldn't know about.

>>715442617
Who said anything about bank accounts i just want a copy of your ID, not going to use a bank with it

I'm all for Piracy and making it so simple anyone can do it so every studio can go bankrupt and video games can die

>>715436704 (OP)
So it's better to steal than to pirate?

What if I made a pirated copy of your mom and had sex with her and posted pictures online with the copy's consent telling people that I fucked your mom even though it's just a pirated copy and your real mom is left untouched how would you feel about it

>>715436751

>>715445096
I'd feel nothing? It's a copy of my mom, not her. Please feel free to do so. Copy a human being rn.

>>715445501
Ok give me a image of your mother

>>715445605
Why would I? I'm not selling my mom's images for $80. Lmao you're retarded.

>>715445693
I want a COPY, you still get the original

>>715436704 (OP)
This picture angers the tendie.

>>715442732
Being disingenuous doesn’t mean you win an arguement, it just makes you look like a retard.

>>715447321
How is that disingenuous, i just want a copy. You can easily lock your bank account so no one gets it so whats the problem

>>715436873
as long as you're not claiming it's original, why not?

>>715436873
That's a whole different thing because the Mona Lisa is "public domain"
You can do whatever you want with public domain media

>>715436873
Yes you can, but you only can because they preserved the painting long enough.
What the game industry want is the right to erase games from existence, both multi and single player.
They HATE being compared to older games.
