Shoplifting is virtually always justified. By shoplifting you are simply opting out of transferring wealth from consumer to big business which could be seen as a redistribution of wealth (however small) from rich to poor.

Sliding is actually stealing. You’re taking something away from the vendor. Piracy doesn’t actually take anything physically from the vendor.
Besides, if I can’t actually buy it (only a license to use it), then it’s not possible to steal it.

The mental gymnastics people use to excuse themselves of their entitlement continues to amaze me.

Interesting, because the inability of people to understand basic concepts continues to disappoint me.

For what it’s worth, I never argued that shoplifting isn’t stealing. I only pointed out the absurdity of the argument that piracy is justified.
Feel free to educate me on the basic concepts I’m feeling to understand.
