  • Filesharing isn't piracy. It's filesharing.

    Piracy is when you attack a ship and steal its cargo.

    But, of course, it was difficult for the RIAA to have a war on sharing, so they had to use a different term with sinister connotations and implant it into the public consciousness.

    And it worked! You never hear anybody talk about "filesharing" anymore.

  • Today you can download a car.. And then 3D print it for 'free'.

    • hold on let me use my 50 different materials 3d printer that has to be bigger than a car to print one. or for me to learn how to make a car from its parts

  • Isn't it more akin to stealing money though? Or to be more precise stealing the potential of money since not everyone who pirates would ever have paid for it on the first place.

    • That assumes you were entitled to something that nobody owed you.

      If the money was never yours, can you say it was stolen from you?
