To all those who oppose piracy in every single way, that you believe intellectual property is a legitimate property right. Let's say hypothetically the copyright duration was 10 years, so all nes/snes/genesis/psx/ps2/sega saturn/dreamcast/neo-geo/xbox games are in the public domain. If you pirate a video game that is no longer protected by copyright, is that still stealing?


No. As I said earlier, theft it's taking something that doesn't belong to you without permission. If something is considered public domain, then that is permission to copy it. You fundamentally cannot pirate a public domain media.

You can still plagiarize it however.
