Ha, this is the guy that got absolutely butchered in his Reddit post [1] about the same link. OP has extensive history in the piracy subreddits and believes piracy is not theft.

> believes piracy is not theft

That's true by definition isn't it? Piracy (Internet piracy, since that's the context) is copyright infringement, not theft.

Piracy is a real crime, I like to define it as theft of goods in transit. however it might be more specifically be the above in international free zones.

I always find it funny how people want to try and inflate one of the lesser crimes "copyright infringement" into one of the most heinous ones. Might as well call it software rape, it's just as accurate.

But the definition of theft is that it permanently deprives the owner of the object being thieved. Piracy might be a real crime but it doesn't match the definition of theft.

I'm not even sure what software rape is supposed to mean, but to me that seems to belittle the very real crime of rape.
