If buying isn't owning...
You're buying... A temporary permission to access certain content.
...then piracy isn't theft.
No it's just borrowing, it's temporary anyway, I recently looked at some movies on a very old harddisk and it was like DVD quality or worse. Threw the entire disk out.
I don't know if it's even borrowing, really. If you borrow my drill, I can't use it. If you torrent a movie... Like... You're seeding, and more people can use it!
It's almost like our economics models with supply and demand barely work for physical products and are even worse at modelling easily reproducible digital goods
Naaaah, probably just a coincidence, best not to think about such things. /S
