When one steals an apple from an apple hawker, he now has one less apple to sell to a paying customer.
When one pirates a game or movie, the seller doesnt lose a copy of it that they could have otherwise sold. That said, piracy is illegal and Ive never done it.

The owner doesn't have to lose anything for it to be stealing.
If I go and sneak into a ballgame and take an empty seat nobody paid for, that's still theft despite no loss to the owner. Identity theft is also a thing, nothing physically taken but it's still theft. This whole splitting hairs about the definition of theft being physical vs not is ridiculous. If you take or consume something that you didn't pay for it's stealing/theft. --- Oda break tracker 2019- 5 (4) | THE Ohio State: 0-0 | Oakland Raiders: 0-0 Super Mario Maker Profile: 1237-0000-0073-02FE ...

Rika_Furude posted...One involves no loss (piracy) What if the person pirating doesnt have the money to buy the thing? There would never have been a sale. voldothegr8 posted... The owner doesn't have to lose anything for it to be stealing. Not saying its not bad, just pointing out the difference. And with identity theft, isnt that usually so the person can use your money?

Back in the day when Napster was around and Metallica was all sour I remember they asked Kidrock what his thoughts were and he was like fuck do I care I'm rich. My thoughts are the same. Some pirate and others buy legit at the end of the day if I'm already a millionaire fuck do I care if I lose out on more money. Not like everyone is doing it. Most profit doesn't come from albums but from tours.

Rika_Furude posted... A loss of sales isnt a real actual loss you can display on your ledger. No thief hacked your bank account and deducted 200k from your savings.

When one steals an apple from an apple hawker, he now has one less apple to sell to a paying customer. They dont lose a copy of the product.... but they DO lose the REVENUE that should have come as a requirement for you gaining access to that product. If the apple hawker GIVES you an apple at no charge, they received no revenue for that apple you are now eating. Same result as if you stole it... its a lost SALE because you didnt BUY IT. the fact that they know does not make a difference in terms of loss or gain. --- ... Copied to Clipboard!
