Comment on Pluralistic: "If buying isn't owning, piracy isn't stealing"
schmidtster@lemmy.world 9 months agoYou haven’t answered it, you keep implying the person is doing it for profit or the people would be buying the books from the artist.
If they had no intention of buying it, how’s the artist losing out…?

Yes. That is revenue, not profit. And it’s still true and the point still stands. You’ve done nothing to argue against that point. You’ve just made dishonest comparisons libraries and lending things to friends which isn’t the problem.

You understand that without profit you won’t have revenue…. Yeah?
This is the stupidest fallicous argument ive seen in a long time. Arguing revenue and profit aren’t related. Wow.
