Taking a copy is the same thing. You are held up with syntax. A copy is theft of a sale by providing the product with no return to the owner.

I don’t disagree... but some people prefer to “own” something rather than rent it.

I get absolutely none of it from YouTube, but thanks for playing. You have already displayed your ignorance, do you really want to keep playing?

Exactly. I don’t have to worry about any nonsense or quality problems if I just pirate it. I don’t have to wonder if it will suddenly disappear from the library if Netflix drops it, either.

I probably won’t but, considering that my dad goes back and watches tv shows and movies from when he was a kid (and older) all the time... I am willing to bet that plenty of people would.

Really only hosts go to jail? Someone better tell these guys they got screwed.

No, even the posters don’t go to jail unless they were running the site that facilitated the piracy or were the ones who went to the theater or the like and personally recorded the video/leaked the copy.

Depending on how many shows you watch, $1-$2 per episode for a lifetime of watching would ultimately be cheaper than paying $8 every month

Oh, the way you are responding, we both know it is the truth.

Nice of you to concede that you were wrong.

It is the only logical stance, friend. You can argue for your illogical stance, if you want, but it won’t go very well for you.

And?

Oh ho ho ho... scathing retort. Right up there with “I know you are but what I am?”

Except I am not. I am correcting your ignorance. Do you even know what “justification” is? I don’t think you do.

That wasn’t a debate or argument, it was mocking you for pretending to be better just because you are condemning someone for piracy. Which you probably do yourself, too, which is amusing.

A distinction with a difference. We both know you also breaks laws regularly, too, so don’t act all holier than thou just because you probably pretend you haven’t pirated stuff before.

Oh hey, I did that job too a few years ago.

I pirate everything I watch, even though I have cable, Netflix and Amazon Prime.

So is murder, but that also isn’t theft.

Piracy is not stealing. It is copyright infringement, though.
