You're just a common thief. Nothing more. Stop trying to justify you stealing from another person.

- gabriel34 13y agoI did not say nor did I imply at any moment that I pirate anything; not only pirates think about piracy. Comparing pirates to common thieves is a fallacy since it attributes the feelings we have toward common thieves to people who can't see the ones they might be hurting, and so can't empathize with them. Someone who downloads a pirated copy of a work is not similar to someone who mugs someone or lifts a wallet on the street because it requires a lot more to visualize the one's from who you are stealing. That being said I would like you to retract your statement about me, not because I'm not a pirate or a thief, but because you offended me.

Insult me and you will be breaking (again) the two first guidelines for comments on HN
