Copyright infringement isn't theft.

Copyright infringement isn't theft.
- calafrax 9y agoword. unlicensed content delivery platforms still vastly superior in terms of quality and depth of content after over a decade and billions spent by netflix, hulu, etc. if you really want people to pay for a product you should offer better quality than the people who give it away.
- ovao 9y agoThe quality may be better, but can you stream pirated content on, say, an iPad app or on a pre-installed TV app? Netflix and other legal providers seem to have a real value proposition versus illegal providers, but I'll admit it's been several years since I've taken any interest in piracy.
- Omniusaspirer 9y agoYes, you can easily stream your owned multimedia content to basically any device. https://emby.media/community/index.php?/forum/18-emby-apps/ https://emby.media/community/index.php?/forum/18-emby-apps/ https://support.plex.tv/hc/en-us/articles/203082707-Supported-Plex-Companion-Apps https://support.plex.tv/hc/en-us/articles/203082707-Supporte...

- hyperdunc 9y agoA sentinent like "pirates will always find a way to rationalize theft" is unreasonably dismissive and perhaps shaped to protect an ideological position. This is a question of semantics. You're trying to coopt the gravitas of the word "theft". But theft is the illegal removal of a (physical) item, not copying an item while leaving the original as it is.
- imtringued 9y agoHow can you know that hyperdunc is a "pirate"? How can you know that hyperdunc advocates for further "piracy"? His argument is that there is a word for copyright infringement and the word clearly isn't theft or piracy.
