Those studies are inherently flawed.

English, please.

lol

Then they should just return it?

I don't do any of those things other than listen to music on the radio, which is not piracy. Radio stations pay labels/musicians for the right to air their music.

Show a single study that demonstrates that piracy in any way drives sales.

Why don't you cite a single, unbiased reference for the idea that piracy "increases sales." I'm certain you can't.

Of course it would be great to know your experience will be completely satisfied before purchasing anything, but that's just not how the world works. You don't see anyone arguing that someone who eats a meal and doesn't like it should be refunded.

So, if you dislike it you'll just say it wasn't worth your time and not pay for it? You'd very clearly be stealing.

That doesn't even make sense, so it's not a very good comparison. Most states enforce the worker's right to not be forced to work on their lunch break. And there certainly aren't any places that demand that you eat within your place of work.

I'm pretty sure most businesses would not like their employees to be browsing random websites that have no relation to their work and if they did then said employees wouldn't have an issue with watching videos.

Why cater to people who aren't even supposed to be on here?

Rubberband AI only works for computer players, so it won't have an effect in any online games.

Sex isn't exactly a thing you can be skilled at. It's just a matter of lasting long enough and maintaining a rhythm.

Of course not.

How would that constitute piracy?

I personally find piracy to be morally reprehensible.

Podkayne was an immature, deluded child who ended up dying for no reason other than her writer was insane and too sexist to realize that there would be female astronauts within the century.

The fact that the story is set nearly 10,000 years into the future and human society is dictated by a feudal government and various opposing capitalist bodies and religious interests suggests that our species has remained the same.

Most of the artwork features guns and none showcase the soldiers with shields, so it just doesn't seem likely to me. That disappointed me since there's a dearth of modern interpretations of the series.
