There’s a metaphysics discussion about whether a ship that has had all its parts changed is still the same boat (ship of Theseus).
With that in mind, if you own the game, box and cd, and are only replacing the data… is that actually piracy?
- CuriousSkeptic 5y ago“Piracy” (copyright infringement) is a legal construct. It has very little to do with either morals or metaphysics. Yes, legally, it is copyright infringement to make copies not authorized by the copyright holder. Morally I would claim the entire concept of copyright is wrong and the cause of far more evil than any extra copy could ever match. Metaphysically I would say the law is just silly since the legal definition of what constitutes a copy has so very little to do with physics. Edit: This comment was also silly. Let’s not start a debate on copyright. Keep the discussion focused on quake.
