- ddingus 6y agoPiracy really isn't theft. It is infringement. We have that word because theft includes loss of property, and there is no loss of property in piracy. What does happen is someone sees or uses or does something others say they are not supposed to. I am not making an argument that is OK. I am making an argument using the wrong words tends to reinforce bad law. And as law diverges from the real goals, is made for reasons not rooted in reality, respect for it, the value of it is reduced. We all lose. Lobbying to take away rights, reduce freedom, opportunity is despotism. Corruption, grift, opportunism all treating people as less than what they are.
