That cost occurs regardless of whether or not copyright infringement occurs. There is no further loss. Thus, you cannot assign a loss to copyright infringement.
We are talking about copyright infringement. That's what "piracy" is.
I hope you see now that the definition of words really does matter.
You've said that, but you're wrong. This is a clear misassociation.
It very much is relevant. If an action causes a loss, then the effect has a cause. If the loss occurs regardless of the action, then you cannot assign cause and effect.
We're digging down further into the princples of things. I feel like, before long, we'll be talking about how magnets work.
We're not. I'm not making any kind of legal distinction.
I think we just need to agree to disagree. You're ignoring the very central part of my argument to try and argue the legal distinctions that are irrelevant to my point. If it's just going to continue to be a semantic argument then I'm not interested in continuing.
We're talking about definitions. I say copyright infringement, you say piracy, we mean the same things.
You say piracy is theft, I say they're different. That's where you're wrong.
