Let's exaggerate things. An indie dev sells a game for 5$ and when all things are split up they have 2$ going to them. They sell one copy but with the tracker they put into the game, they can tell that there's a million person that have played it. Their income for the work they put in is 2$, a million -1 people got to enjoy what they created through piracy. So you're telling me, no one has stolen anything from that creator? permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 4 child comments replies: [+] MrFunnyMoustache@lemmy.ml 2 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) (1 child) [deleted] permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] Kecessa@sh.itjust.works 1 point 2 years ago (1 child) Right, because content appears out of thin air. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [+] MrFunnyMoustache@lemmy.ml 2 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) (1 child) [deleted] permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] Kecessa@sh.itjust.works 0 points 2 years ago From the point of view of the person that should be compensated in order for you to have access to the content, it absolutely is. permalink fedilink source parent [–] bigMouthCommie@kolektiva.social -1 points 2 years ago (1 child) in wage theft, there is an agreement about getting paid, and the employer fraudulently does not pay that.
