Privacy isn’t stealing, so they dont.
We had many threads discussing this issue as pirating a copy of something does not hurt the producer.
In the same magnitude (of loss) you could say that robbing a car from a manufacturer does not hurt the company.
Because the "robber" would also not buy the car too. So depending on how you define economic loss this discussion leads to no end.
Stealing the right to distribution and money out of people's pockets. Kimdotcom really did a number on y'all.
No, literally and legally piracy is not theft.
Piracy is trade mark infringement, theft is physically stealing a material object.
