It's a smart move by the entertainment industry to try to rebrand piracy as theft, as the public at large understand theft as a bad thing. Legally though I think it's 'copyright infringement' which sounds a lot less sexy.
- teknopaul 5y agoCertainly in the UK theft is "taking possession with intent to permanently deny the owner of it". Copyright infringement is not theft by that definition. Saw this great stand-up skit by someone who was asked to compare copyright infringement to stealing a car... It like stealing a car but You just stick you finger out, touch the car, and it's your car! And the owner still has the car! And literally all my friends do it!
