I mean, it's not

It's piracy, a different crime

A crime I love committing babyyyyyyyyyy

If I steal your bicycle
you have to take the bus,
but if I just copy it
there's one for each of us!

If I steal food from the store, I'm both robbing the store, and a community that would have paid good money for that food.

If I go to the store and magically have the items on the shelves be duplicated into my cart, and I don't have to pay for them. That is not a crime that is a miracle

Also if buying isn't owning than wtf did I buy. In any other time period this corporate shit would be considered a scam.

It's the theft of profit they don't like, they don't care if you watch it, just that you give them money for the opportunity to watch.

God damn right!

....I mean... PIRACY IS WRONG AND IMORRAL!

stealing from billionaires is bad! How are they supposed to afford their giant mansions and gold Hummers if we pirate things?!

Taking a copy of an infinitely replicable resource is perfectly ethical.

Solid point, me hearty!

It's not piracy it's reclamation

oh.... his got the point

Yep, you can shove your "licence" up there, I bought it it's mine.

I've seen it ubder recent Rossmann's video

Surprisingly astute point.

You aren’t stealing from the person you’re getting it from, you’re stealing from the person who created it

Artists have rights over their work, and no amount of whataboutisms will change that.

By a similar token, wage theft isn't a big deal because it's not like you're owning the person.
