copyright infringement is not stealing
Congratulations, that’s the 4th strawman in this thread. No one is talking about copyrights.

My brother/sister in Christ, everyone in this discussion is talking about copyright infringement. That is the actual legal name for what we colloquially refer to as “piracy,” according to, you know, the law, which you previously referenced as something we should look to.
