  It’s ok to make a 1:1 copy of the rental car without depriving the company of the car in any way

    So a writer spends a year of his life writing a book with the idea that he can sell copies for $15 each so that, if he sells enough copies, he can make that year’s time worthwhile. But you think it’s okay to just make a copy for free since he still has his original?

      Yes. I was never going to buy it anyway. He didn’t lose anything. At least this way, his art is consumed and discussed, potentially generating a sale. BTW, you are absolutely wasting your time here. People in this community obviously have a very different perspective on this than you do. You’ll have to either accept that, or become increasingly frustrated that your arguments fall flat with this particular audience

        At least now we’ve gotten to the common understanding that it is theft, but you just don’t care. I personally think copyright laws have been good for our society because they’ve allowed people to live off of creating art. You obviously have a different view.

        I’m not at all frustrated by the conversation - it’s like discussing car registration or driver’s licenses with a SovCit. In fact, it’s pretty much exactly like that. It’s interesting for me to see how you rationalize your view, but I don’t expect you to change your mind.
