It’s not free. You’re stealing content.

  It's free, though.

  I think the term stealing is a bit normative in this context. Copying is more descriptive.

    They don’t have the original.

  Negatory, chief. The legal term “copyright infringement” was created precisely because bootlegging media could not meet the criteria for theft, (ie a pirate is not depriving someone else possession or ownership of the media that they copy). It all started with a man that was selling copied cassette tapes of an Elvis Presley concert through an ad in the back of a magazine.

    Your getting content you didn’t pay for.

      No matter how many times you want to call it theft, copyright infringement is simply not the same thing.
      • nojito 5y ago
        It isn’t for the initial copier but the consumer is certainly consuming content they did not pay for.
