It's not stealing, it's unauthorised redistribution. They don't lose anything from piracy, except for potential customers, which is a pretty intangiable concept. Don't think it's even remotely as bad as going into a tech store and taking all their DVR's, or even literal piracy by chasing down another boat with guns and taking their cargo.

    We're getting into the pedantic weeds, but I never said nor implied it was this bad. I don't even think it's bad at all, as I said elsewhere, it's chaotic neutral. it's just trying to paint it as justified is ridiculous.

    We want something, we aren't willing to pay the price to the person who actually owns it, and because no one gets hurt, we don't have moral qualms taking it. But at the end of the day we are illegally taking something just because we want it. There's no "justified" in that at all.
