Piracy =/= Stealing. Ever.
1. Most situations of piracy are where the pirate is unable to buy the game.
2. Piracy is where the pirate makes a COPY of a game. It cannot be equated to real life stealing. The closest it can be equated to is duplicating items in a video game.

You can switch 'game' with any form of media as well.
Stealing removes the car from existing?
Ye
It's actually interdimensional pirates raiding earth for cars, removing them from this dimension.
I wouldn't even pirate a G6

I'd just like to interject for a moment. What you're referring to as piracy, is in fact, unauthorized copying, or as I've recently taken to calling it, unauthorized sharing. Piracy is not the act of obtaining an unauthorized copy of a copyrighted work, but rather robbery or criminal violence at sea.
Many computer users make unauthorized copies every day, without realizing it. Through a peculiar turn of events, the act which is widely performed today is often called piracy, and many of the people who do it are not aware that it is basically copying, and not stealing.
There really is a piracy, and some people are doing it, but it is just robbery at sea. Piracy is an act of theft: an action at sea in which goods are forcefully transferred from one ship to another. Piracy is important to be aware of, but unrelated to unauthorized copying; it can only function at sea. Piracy is normally not used in combination with unauthorized copying: the two acts are basically seperate. All the so-called piracy is really unauthorized copying.
...
but... when I ambush a ship, take a crew hostage or kill and steal all the cargo then there isn't any copy of it, imho OP's picture is bullshit
Technically it would be forgery since you are getting an illegal(at least in most countries) copy. So forger, not thief.
Who cares
Don't mind me, just pirating this money.
They can't even call it piracy in a court of law.
>The Judge granted Hotfile’s “pejorative” terms motion, which means that the movie studios and its witnesses are not allowed to use words including “piracy,” “theft” and “stealing” during the trial.
>“In the present case, there is no evidence that the Defendants (or Hotfile’s founders) are ‘pirates’ or ‘thieves,’ nor is there evidence that they were ‘stealing’ or engaged in ‘piracy’ or ‘theft.’ Even if the Defendants had been found to have directly infringed on the Plaintiffs’ copyrights, such derogatory terms would add nothing to the Plaintiffs’ case, but would serve to improperly inflame the jury.”

>exact copy
>downloaded added own custom skin
>not pirating bitcoins
What are you even doing?
dunno why you're making a thread about it, no law text ever called it theft
Depends on the cases, I'm not sure it's considered as forgery or counterfection if there's no intent to sell it or to use it to decieve someone. Probably depends on the countries though
>individual spends 2 million dollars and 5000 hours inventing some contraption
>big company pirates design

>original inventor can't compete

See unlike you cunts I don't try to justify me pirating shit, I simply don't give a fuck and I like getting shit for free without getting caught
I downloaded Dragon Age Inquisition and Witcher 3.
I bought Witcher 3 and deleted Dragon Age with barely playing it.

>I don't understand the difference between copyright and piracy.
Theft: owner loses something of personal wealth or interest from the unlawful taking of his or her product.
Piracy: the owner loses personal wealth or expected wealth from unlawful duplication and distribution of his/her product
Why is this so hard to understand?
>literally implying I'd buy their shit if I couldn't pirate it
I thought we'd talked this over
