    I want the stuff, the stuff is there. I take it. The stuff is still there, nothing was lost, nothing was stolen.

      You’re not stealing stuff, you’re stealing revenue. The missing revenue is what they care about. But they have plenty of that already, so they can get bent

        Stealing revenue it’s hypothetical, because it supposes that you were going to pay for the product if it wasn’t available pirated. And that is far from being certain.

          That is very true, but that doesn’t stop them from going after piracy to protect the revenue

        Not really, it’s just free publicity.

        Unless their product is shit, of course, and no one would pay for it after trying or recommend it to others… in which case, fuck them, they deserve it for attempting to sell shit.
