If this isn't theft, then the inverse isn't either. Raise your flags, it's time once again to sail the high seas
If paying for something dosent mean I own it, then piracy isn't stealing!
It never was.
You're copying, not stealing. When you steal something, it is gone from the person you took it from. When you copy something, both of you have it.
"Piracy" being stealing is exactly the same as "stealing" someone's ideas. It's a lame excuse so people richer than us can be even richer.
