    He’s clearly talking about piracy in general. The point being that just because something is a file, it doesn’t mean it isn’t intellectual property.

      Only if it’s a file that’s already publicly available. When you buy a movie, why shouldn’t you be able to share it with others? I’m not saying that you should be able to hack a filmmaker’s computer and publish movies they’ve never released, though.

      The scenario you described can’t happen to me anyway, because I only use Free Software. You can learn more about it here: piped.video/watch?v=Ag1AKIl_2GM
