The amount of geniuses in this post that still think digital media can't be stolen is staggering. And this is coming from a pirate too.

In any other industry the dumbass shit you guys say would be on r/beggingchoosers. How is something someone worked on to design not deserving of compensation?

"It's a copy, not stealing!". I died at that one. So I guess everyone on beggingchoosers who stole logo or website designs without paying was justified all along, who knew? Those stupid artists have their designs to keep them warm at night I guess.

"They wouldn't notice the loss since I was never gonna be a customer!". This one by far is the dumbest argument I've read. How would any of you know you wouldn't be a customer? The fact that you even played the game shows you had interest in it, meaning you MIGHT have bought it if you were curious enough.

"They don't lose money!" Again, did any of you graduate highschool? When you invest time and money into something, it's to maximize potential profits. That game you pirated is the product of EFFORT. Your piracy = potential customer's money gone.

Just because you weren't guaranteed to be a customer doesn't mean you aren't stealing. God it's annoying going on the pirate bay, knowing fully well what the hell I'm doing because I'm a grown ass adult, and having to read your idiotic manifestos about how all property should be free. Shut the hell up and just tell me if I'm downloading a trojan.
