Why are you entitled to any video game you want for free?
I'd argue stealing is also taking something for free that you would normally have to pay for.
Aren't you essentially arguing all digital property is worthless because its made of nothing?
You know thats not true though, there is worth or else you wouldnt want to steal it.

Nobody here has claimed that, don't put words in their mouths.

Thats cool. You're wrong, though.

Nope, they're pointing out that it's infinitely reproducible and thus making a copy doesn't deprive someone of their copy.
And then use that as justification to steal it. What a fun circle we just went in.
steal
Not what's happening, as has been said. Legally, not just semantically
I'm saying stealing and piracy are equivalent. Different words for the same thing. It does make sense pirates don't want to be associated with the thieves, but as someone who has been around both groups, they are exactly the same thing.
Its the same as me going on farms and stealing fruit from their trees and calling it fruit sharing instead of theft. You can call it whatever you want, its still stealing when it comes to morals.

Say it all you want, it's not true

Nope, not the same thing at all

Only to someone as dumb as you

Nope, that's theft. You've deprived someone of their fruit. You having that fruit means they do not. Do you see the clear and obvious difference here?
its still stealing when it comes to morals
Only if you're an idiot. Again, nobody's been deprived of something they'd otherwise have
I'm an idiot who doesnt want art to become worthless and cease to be made. But go ahead and steal from the people who make the thing you enjoy so much, why not. Its actually the moral thing to do right? Not stealing at all.
I'm an idiot
Hey, finally something we can agree on!
doesnt want art to become worthless and cease to be made
I guarantee you it's not the pirates that will do that
But go ahead and steal
Not stealing, it's very simple, I can't believe you haven't figured that out yet
Its actually the moral thing to do right?
That poor strawman you built sure is taking a beating, damn
Not stealing at all
It literally isn't, you've just shoved your head so far up your ass you refuse to understand the basics that even the law disagrees with your take
Then you wanna pretend like the reason I keep pointing that out is some morality issue when I don't give a fuck about the morality of it at all
Well thats certainly a position, fuck morality and all.
