  But piracy is not theft, it’s copyright infringement.

    Piracy isn’t theft, because on modern media platforms, “buying” doesn’t actually sell you permanent copies. It just gives you temporary access to a DRM’d file that they can remotely disable at any time. If buying isn’t owning, pirating isn’t stealing.

      Yeah, that’s what I said. It’s not stealing but technically it is copyright infringement which is not same as stealing. I mean I’m not judging anyone I also sometimes pirate.
