I know. It’s painfully obvious that the people arguing against this are just dishonest. I’ve already stated several times that I have no issues with piracy. All I’m saying is that, if people are going to pirate, they should be clear that it is theft, they’re depriving the creator of income, they’re ok with that, and they’ll continue to do it. That’s it.
Ok, so when I decide not to pirate and not to buy I’m also stealing? Or do you think if I didn’t pirate something I would definitely buy it?
I have pirated and later bought things I’ve enjoyed that I wouldn’t have bought otherwise, so I’d argue that’s better for the creators. But I guess I’m being dishonest 🤷🏻
If you didn’t pirate and didn’t buy it and also didn’t watch it, then no it’s not stealing.
If you did watch it, then it’s stealing.
It’s not that hard of a concept. You’re not entitled to the fruits of someone’s labor for free unless they’re explicitly granting you that entitlement.
So yeah… it’s being dishonest to pretend like piracy isn’t stealing.

Did you watch it still?
If you didn’t pirate and didn’t buy it and also didn’t watch it, then no it’s not stealing.
