    That’s the point of what they’re saying. If you’re only buying a subscription to the content then it’s not theft to get access to that content by other means.

      the point is that it’s incorrect

      You aren’t buying it so the rest of the sentence is irrelevant

      Like stealing from blockbuster because you can rent it vs the video bin at the department store

        Ok, commercials on no add streaming services are akin to renting a beach house all for your fam but the landlord shows up and takes a giant dump in the only bathroom available

      If you’re going to hang onto the files for the foreseeable future, there is a big difference. Streaming services only grang you access as long as you pay. You rent access from them. Just because you subscribe to Hulu doesn’t mean you own anything. iTunes is a different story.

  Remove the “if buying isnt owning” part

  You are stealing potential profits

    If I’m stealing potential profits, then there wasn’t much potential. My bank account is still near empty
