    Something is being tranferred, and that is the picture which you do not own nor have any right to own.

        That is a dishonest characterization. The video file obviously has value, or you wouldn’t be interested in it. We aren’t talking about a singular bool, but the configuration of the bools of that specific file, which whatever company owns and which they sell the right to view.

          but its not stealing, if you could make an exact copy of a chair by just snapping your fingers that also wouldnt be a crime. why would it??

          now if you want to sell that design and pocket the money i can see some issues but thats not what we do, we make a copy and we play it/watch it. literally not stealing, no property has moved owner.
