I hereby declare that reading this comment below that line will be theft. --------------------

If you read this, you are a thief, you just stolen that information from me. Do you agree?

Arguing about labels is stupid, but so is misusing a word for financial gain.

I wonder if WB and Sony are OK with piracy as long as I return the "stolen" thing afterwards.

But seriously, even if piracy is theft, it's a different kind of theft, so arguing "oiracy is theft, theft is bad, therefore piracy is bad" is still a bad argument. It would be the best, if everybody focused on the actual matter at hand instead of pointless arguments by associacion.
