Other (comment) View Results Let's say you wanted to watch this past Sunday's Game of Thrones, whether just out of eagerness, or maybe to avoid potential spoilers from the leak, or whatever. If you have an HBO subscription, but you download the leaked episode, are you still stealing? --- GO TEAM VENTURE! <cite>iAmAnOrphan posted [p:884344721] in If you wat...

Let's say you wanted to watch this past Sunday's Game of Thrones, whether just out of eagerness, or maybe to avoid potential spoilers from the leak, or whatever. If you have an HBO subscription, but you download the leaked episode, are you still stealing? Kind of the same argument as 'backup copies' of things you own imho. If I purchased it legitimately then I'm going to play the backup whenever possible. --- Mod me? You don't even know me! <cite>Syntheticon posted [p:884369410] in If you wat...

Syntheticon 08/07/17 10:03:24 PM #4:	argonautweakend posted... Yes, it is. I dont get any arguments otherwise. If they weren't paying for the content (like the majority of users) then it would be theft, agreed. In this scenario, you're just getting what you paid for a little earlier-you didn't leak it or distribute it and you didn't stop paying for it. Explain to me where the harm is? --- Mod me?

argonautweakend 08/07/17 10:07:52 PM #5:	I dont think there isnt harm, but you didnt pay to acquire it that way, and the company didnt offer it that way. I personally would get the leak even if i didnt have hbo just because i dont care, but it is stealing. <cite>argonautweakend posted [p:884372462] in If you wat...
