Sure but the post I was responding to starts with "Would you use the same justification for pirating movies? Or for stealing from large supermarkets?", that's what I was responding to. Also in this context the situation is amusing to me given that YouTube's early success was built on pirated content. That continued for a long time even after Google's acquisition.

With respect to server/network resources, like I said Google is free to restrict access as they see fit.

The post you responded to didn't say that those two were the same, it clearly shows those two as different levels of bad if you read the next line:

> "Not a pointed question, I just find it genuinely interesting where people draw the line."

So your point here is just you not understanding and reacting with a meme since his post sounded a bit similar to an argument you have seen before.
