The technicality argument always rubbed me the wrong way. Like the guys who are into jailbait and say they arenât pedophiles because pedophilia is for under ten year olds and they want to fuck teenagers. Brother you still want to fuck underage folks.
Same generally with piracy. Saying itâs not theft because thereâs no physical deprivation of goods just sounds deluded. Itâs still taking stuff without paying for it. Who are you trying to fool? Are you hoping someone is gonna read that nonsense and say, âOh shit hes right guess we gotta get rid of copyright law nowâ? And would you want them to in the day and age of AI stealing everything?
Iâm not even really trying to scold folks who pirate, I do it too, I just donât bother to grandstand about it. BFD Iâm pirating 30 year old video games. Yâall think if I bought a 200 dollar used one on Ebay the original studio sees a dime of it? Câmon now.

in many places theft is defined as depriving the rightful owner of an object
so no, piracy isnât theft, itâs piracy, thatâs why they made a new crime for it
