Counter example: Pirating a song is considered stealing as you are taking something for free without paying for it. You are using a definition that is different from the average person.
- Telaneo 3mo agoPirating songs is not stealing. It's copyright infringement. If I go to the store, pick up a carton of milk with my right hand, and magically get a second carton of milk in my left hand, then walk out the store with the carton of milk in my left hand, leaving the original carton in the store, then I have not stolen anything. If that is stealing, then I can only conclude that stealing is (a)moral, and we need a different word for what I would consider to be stealing.
- charcircuit 3mo agoPeople don't magically get a copy of an artists song on the computer. They steal it.
- Telaneo 3mo agoCopying is not stealing. If you're of the opinion that that's stealing, then it is my opinion that stealing is OK.
- ktallett 3mo agoPiracy has been proven in court to not be stealing. I'm using the legal definition of stealing.
