    I have been pushed in many thought provoking directions because of art. Issac Asimov ignited an interest in math, Kurt Vonnegut books laid a foundation for philosophy pursuits, and…

    entertainment is a service industry. Extracting the service value without providing the requested fee is stealing.

    It is very convenient to steal. You fail to grasp that still constitutes theft.

    Did you steal any content that was behind a paywall? If you did, you have taken money out of my industry and made it more difficult for it to be a viable career path in the future.…

    I'm saying "taking a service that you did not pay to receive" is stealing.

    It's the definition. Not paying for redefines one to being a thief.

    I'm saying when you steal you're a thief. If that ruffles your feathers, stop stealing.

    You gain the value of service without paying the requested fee. If you weren't going to watch it, you wouldn't. Watching it, without paying for it is theft and it takes money from …

    I am 100 percent okay with it. One entity has provided the fee for service (and afforded me 1/100th of an avocado toast, thank you very much) and is not in their ownership to do as…

    piracy is receiving the service value of entertainment without providing the requested fee. Another word for it is stealing.

    Finally! I agree with this. I think that physically purchased goods should be free from any sort of "DRM." and is not stealing. The difference is one party at a time, i.e. househol…

    Sure you're talking about economical motivators, which I hope and fight for our Union to adjust to. Until then tho..a person who steals from a moral high ground is still a thief st…

    ha. You are not wrong. The winds are shifting and I'm optimistic that i will be able to individually garner a better contract over time even if my union fails to help with it.

    Right, so that isn't stealing. It is in fact what I advocate strongly. If more people did that, more content they would enjoy would be provided at a reasonable cost. But extracting…

    In your example, getting a third party to provide a digital copy of a good you already own is not theft. I would argue it's a lousy way of doing things, opening you up to many more…
