Pedant here. Copyright violation is not theft. Piracy describes another act entirely, too.
The bible gives a green light to share words and song publicly, and to duplicate freely for the masses what is in arbitrarily short supply.
Even our modern, applicable laws do not mention theft, so you ought try to avoid strawmanning in the future and look up which millenium the DMCA was written for.
- paulcole 5y agoThis is the exact kind of thing I was anticipating. Regardless of terminology, you’re breaking rules set by someone else and doing something because you feel entitled to do it. Even if the original file doesn’t change you’re taking possession of something you don’t have the right to possess. Go nuts. It doesn’t fundamentally matter at all. But don’t try to loophole your way out of a situation that is very clear.
