    We’re literally talking about piracy, so yes lmao

    So, according to you, piracy is stealing, because it has to be stolen at some point. And the reason that it must be stolen is because it is connected to piracy.

    Don’t act surprised if you’re downvoted, if you present your circular logic this plainly.

      No, I never said anything of the sort. Piracy is stealing because you are taking something without paying the cost for it.

      I don’t care about downvotes from pirates with a Robin Hood complex. I’m on Kbin and most of them don’t sync to my instance, anyway.

        When I steal a shoe, the shoe can’t besold anymore, because I have it. If I pirate a game, is there one less copy that steam can sell?

        Piracy is categorically something else than stealing. Have you even read the original post?

        Edit: If you really follow your logic strand, you would have to reach the conclusion that Sony stole content from their users.

        Edit2:

        No, I never said anything of the sort.

        This u?

        The origins of any movie you pirate come from theft, full stop.

          These are not the same statement. You’re getting the before and after mixed up, likely on purpose.

            Trying to pull your circular reasoning apart and putting them back together in reverse still gives you… drumroll… circular reasoning!

            But thank you for helping give everyone else a demonstration of how motivated reasoning works.
