Downvoted for flamebait, by erroneously calling people thieves.
Oh right...piracy isn't theft, right? Physical goods and all. Groan.
There are a world of studies available for consideration. When you see the same study (by the reputable Norwegian School of Business, no less) referenced over, and over, and over again, it is kind of telling.
- icebraining 14y agoIt's telling in that nobody pays to show what the industry doesn't want to see. Oh right...piracy isn't theft, right? Physical goods and all. Groan. Well, piracy is. "Piracy" isn't, just like rape or murder isn't theft. Good or bad, it's not theft.
- J3L2404 14y agoThe problem is the basis of the defense of piracy is that it is trivial to copy. Lots of the things are trivial to copy, like your private data.
- icebraining 14y agoYou don't need to defend free transmission of information. Freedom is the default state. It's the people who want to restrict freedom who have to make their case. And in my opinion their arguments, under the current context, are not strong enough. Arguments against the copying of private information are.
