piracy being considered theft is so dumb. Do they really think the people pirating would have payed if not given the option to have it for free? I only consume the media because I'm not paying for it, not instead of it. Do they consider not buying their thing theft? because I'm not paying for it regardless but for some reason one counts as a loss
