Remember kids, if buying isn't owning, piracy isn't theft.
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?
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.
