    I’ve seen this saying going around and while I do like it, something about it bugs me. These corpos want to treat everything as a service. If you acquire content from a service via illegal means you are indeed still stealing, no?

      You’re either selling a service or a product, you don’t get to lay claim to both, and you don’t get to walk with peoples money by using linguistic tricks

      No: I didn’t take it from them since they never owned my copy. The Supreme Court said piracy isn’t stealing. The corporations lose NOTHING through piracy.
