‚so would you steal a car?‘ nono.. hear me out i actually have a thesis/question.
so, if you rent a car, that you don’t own, but ‚subscibe‘ to for a certain amount of time. does that mean by following the logic of this statement, that stealing this rented car is ok? im aware that this aims at software and the non-materialness of software but still.. do i have a point here?
Anti-piracy advocates ALWAYS make this ridiculous analogy, there are infinite copies of the software which you aren't depriving anyone of, but there is a physical good in the car of which you are depriving.
im def not anti-piracy i just wanted to explore this thought. not the first one obv. nvm
