Sorry, none of your twisted endless psychobabble is going to convince me that your argument is right Gideon. If you smuggle a vidcam into a movie theatre and record a brand new release Hollywood movie and then proceed to make copies and sell them for profit, they call it piracy. Are we clear so far? Good. Then, as we have seen in the wiki and it's supporting legal documents and reference materials, the courts in that sense see "piracy" and "theft" as interchangeable.
Still with me?
Good.
Now then, I see very little difference between someone "taking" a movie (I'll make the correlation of video recording a movie as being similar to downloading someone else's content) and "taking" someone's content from their pay site for the purposes of profiting from it later yourself.
Both are unauthorized actions.
As I said, I really don't care what charge sticks to the person doing it. If they get found guilty on fraud so be it, as long as they are fined/punished appropriately and restitution is made to my satisfaction I'm all good. But at the end of it all I'd still leave the courthouse knowing that the person who did it is a piece of shit thief on top of whatever else the court wants to call it.
That's what I'm saying.
I'm really not here to argue the logistics or fine details of law, as laws can differ from state to state, country to country. I'd advise you to get over your foolish penchant for, as dig420 said, "splitting hairs".... it's theft and we all know it. I suspect even you know it but just stubbornly won't concede that it is in this kind of example.
But do carry on. If anything it's good for the postcount.
