Well call me stupid. Here is a better example to why they call it stealing; You walk into Best Buy, take a cd/dvd off the shelf and just walk out the door. So when the cops come and arrest you, you can just tell them "I wasn't stealing, I just took a copy." Just because you don't have a physical copy doesn't make it any less than stealing.

Well since you offer I will call you stupid :-)

Your so called "better example" has nothing to do with piracy but simply tells of transaction that is taking possession of a physical item. I'm pretty sure you get the difference and is just being silly but if not the do look up the word "copy" in a dictionary.

About my second point it seems you did miss what I was on about. If the industry claims a pirate copy equals a loss of say $30 and a shop sells said item for $10 then using the "logic" of the industry that sale would be equal to robbing the industry of $20. Of course this is not how it works but it just highlights one of the ways the industry piracy loss figures are wrong.

Finally. No where in my post did I claim any of my arguments gave me the right to make unauthorized copies. Stop putting words in my mouth!
