>if buying isn't owning piracy isn't stealingit's still stealing tho...
>>109022026I wat to FUCK Asuka, yes, the 14 YEAR OLD version.
>>109022026that quote is dumb because, even if buying were owning, piracy wouldn't be stealing.
>>109022026I wonder if i should sue big techs for all the bytes crossing my property without paying explicit authorisation Thats a lot of bytes who did exhausted my bytes recievers
>obnoxious anime discord manchild has a shitty opinionColor me surprised.
>>109022026
>>109022026>it's still stealing tho...So buying IS owning? You better spread the word fast before the gigacorporations assasinate you for wrongthink.
>>109022026Copying something is not stealing. Also, you can't buy copyrighted media or software, you can only license it under certain conditions. So you cant even call it buying.
>>109022026Yes, I know. So?The bank robbed the people, so the people rob the bank. The way of life, what did you expect?>>109022031Idk anon, I think you wish you were also 14.There is a reason why Ryouji refused to do her, despite all her clinging, nagging and asking for a d during the entire show.
>>109022147He didn't want to be jailed.
>>109022179He did hit on every single woman he met, so it is unlikely that someone like Ryouji was concerned with that stuff. He trusted his dick with his life and completely delegated all thinking processes to it.
>>109022026>Piracy is the unauthorized reproduction, distribution, or use of another person's or entity's creative works, goods, or property. It generally falls into two distinct categories: digital intellectual property (copyright infringement) and traditional maritime piracy (robbery at sea).>Theft is the act of taking someone else's property without their permission, with the intention of permanently depriving the owner of its use or value. It is legally synonymous with larceny and acts as an umbrella term for various forms of stealing.>Stealing is the act of dishonestly or unlawfully taking another person’s property, ideas, or rights without permission. In its broader sense, the term can refer to both material items (like theft or larceny) and intangible concepts (like plagiarism or misappropriating credit).so, pirating DRM-enabled content isn't theft because it's an implied breach of faith? while two wrongs don't make a right, pirating is more akin to a theft of service. would you believe that modifying software is a form of piracy, then? I'm sure (You) would but I digress. copyright isn't a means of protecting rights, because it's a subset of intellectual property rights. you know the expression "all rights reserved?" did you think that it was meaningless, that it doesn't automatically make copying a thing stealing? it gives the copyright holder the decision to decide.so if I go into a bank, and write down all of the serial numbers of their federal reserve notes (in the US for obvious phrasing) then print counterfeits of all the currency, is that stealing? what about if I print all new currency from my own notes using those serial numbers, is that still considered piracy?
>>109022068you think that's a theft of service or a breach of faith? there's a terms of agreement you probably just clicked through without reading in the first place. maybe instead you should just generate an invoice for the amount of bandwidth they used and see if you can get it paid.
>>109022101cool it with the antisemitism
>>109022026I agreed to click "agree"and then I clicked "agree"and that is all that "agree"will ever mean to me!
>>109022026Silly Asuka, Nerv used cloning too
Telling me it's stealing just makes me want to do it more. Your resistance only makes my penis harder.
>>109022026stealing Windows means the Windows is gonein piracy it's not gone, so no
>>109022101/thread
>>109022026Dumb bitch.
you could say piracy is 20% stealing in a magical aggregate waya game that cant be pirated likely gets at least 20% more sales from it, while it loses 2000% pirated sales. Not all pirates would buy it, but even 10% of would be pirates paying for it would pay the creators rent n shit, so they are objectively losing money from piracy as a whole.I dont see how an anime hobby would exist in the west without piracy. Like in a perfect drm world youd have to watch what some tv network licensed for you to watch, reruns of naruto or one piece n such. To read manga you'd need to import a japanese book every time one gets released and learn japanese.You'd lose about 99% of the audience. Because of the lack of jap publisher distribution channels you cant even consider it to be stealing at all.
>>109022960Imagine if Steam asked you if you tried before you bought a gameNo really, why don't any of the legit platforms survey their users about piracy?
>>109022026>friend owns a cool painting>I want it in my house but it costs a thousand dollars>I ask if I could borrow it for a while>I buy a canvas and some paint and copy it perfectly from model>I bring back the painting still in perfect condition>now we both can enjoy it, the friend still has his painting>OP (the fag) sees this>"dude, that's stealing!"Companies don't even have any idea which bits move where since their servers aren't burdened by that traffic. They just pretty much calculate the sales and the total population of earth and say that all the rest are pirating our product and we're losing trillions every minute because of piracy. Because all those people would have bought the product otherwise, 100% guaranteed.
Are you a cuck, OP, who believes in the cult of the postulates (the jurists)?
Piracy is wrong but only if the data is in any way modified compared to the original.Eliminate repacks/reencodes and all similar dogshit responsible for proving to corpos that they too no longer need to manufacture quality which then will still be further downgraded by pirates.
>>109022026it's not stealing regardless. If I clone your orange I haven't stolen it because you've still got it.
intellectual property is stealing from the cultural diversity of public domain.
>>109022147>RyoujiI don't think I've ever seen or heard anybody refer to Kaji by his given name in my life. I had to look up the wiki to confirm that I wasn't going crazy and forgetting the character's name.
>>109022290Anon anyone pro-piracy is a petty thief, someone who lies to others about being a petty thief, someone who lies to themself about being a petty thief, or someone that prescribe morality to anything that benefits them. None of the above can be argued with in good faith.
>>109022026the internet was a fucking mistake
>>109025645"copy and pasting" is a reality challenged idea.
>>109023713Why would they put piracy as an option in the minds of their customers? Are you retarded?
>>10902564And if Iran cloned a nuke the world would end. Copies still have measurable consequences, often at the expense of the owner of the original.
>>109027220lmao
>>109022101making a copy is theft tho
the concept of owning intangible information by means other than complete secrecy is absurd.
If buying isn't owning but piracy is stealing then how do I own it?
>>109028831You don't. Ownership is only for publicly traded companies.
>>109022026Piracy isn't stealing even when buying is owning. Piracy is copyright infringement. I wish it was stealing, so I could financially harm the likes of Disney
>>109025790That is literally what I did. You think I know how to spell those Asian names?
>>109022698Is that anime about divine trying to punish humans for copyright infringement?I've heard Eva was based on judaism and christianity, but never thought about it like that. Jewish God trying to DMCA some corpos. Hm, interesting concept indeed.
>>109025523It's nonsense, anon. It is all about money. If product not worth anything, nobody would care if you copy it or not. If someone can still sell it, they will complain and tell on you. And win the case because you are getting in the way of them making money.That is what anti piracy law is. Nothing more to it.Also there's something akin to patent trolling going on as well. If you revive some old product that dissapeared from the marked decades ago, you might get sued still. They will make up numbers and claim you caused them losses, even if the opposite is true. Just to squeze some money from you.So if you want safe piracy with nobody to bother you, make sure nobody is selling that shit and that you are visibly poor as fuck. Then you can pirate it, nobody would care.
>>109022026"if buying isn't owning piracy isn't stealing"This sentence is anti piracy propaganda. There were and are a ton of more valid reasons for piracy which never was stealing in the first place.
>>109022026don't care + ywnbaw
>>109022026Copyright infringement is not theft and anyone claiming otherwise should not be entitled to owning property.
>>109027440If you think like a fag.Normal people know rhats not the xase though.I bet you use google chrome without any kind of adblock too because "they need to make money too"Faggot.
>>109028987probably didnt mean to reply to me since it doesnt have any thing to do with my post
>>109022290anon you realize that counterfeiting has never been classified as theft right? There's a reason it's its own category of crime.
