Stealing: The felonious taking and removing of personal property with intent to deprive the rightful owner of it. Copyright infringement is copyright infringement, not theft. Playing word games like “piracy” or “stealing” doesn’t strengthen your case, rather it exposes a central weakness. If what you’re claiming is so terrible, why do you have to pretend that it’s actually something else? This is an old game that was started in the 80’s by industry groups, and its sad to see it internalized by people on HN who should know better. If you want to argue the merits or downsides of copyright infringement, do so, but don’t move the goalposts to unrelated crimes. |
