My opinions on piracy

(Take this as a grain of salt, this is my opinion and yours may differ. Feel free to contradict and share your opinion.)

Piracy is not stealing.

It's not buying the product.

One is the owner getting less money, the other is the owner getting no money.

With a real product, you can distribute it. With a digital product, you can't if the owner said so because it's a copy.

The person/company's money is not stolen, nothing changes, like the product isn't bought.

It's a copy of something digital and is not stealing.

Piracy was never stealing. Stealing implies taking physical possession away from the legitimate owner. Piracy has never involved depriving the owner of possession. Piracy was always about depriving PROFIT from a buisness or someone.

Pirates: Never paid for software

Non-buyer: Never paid for software

Okay, why are ELECTRICAL SIGNALS considered property that you don't have a license to copy and it's morally wrong?

Copying electrical pulses without permision is wrong now?

If buying a digital product isn't owning then piracy ain't stealing. It's that simple.

If there is a law that says you couldn't (for example) type the number 216 on a calculator at night, is it really a sin to do it?

And plus, I live in a country where even the police pirate, EVERYONE pirates, our IT teacher has put pirated Microsoft Office on all of the computers and probably the president pirates too.

Not a single person living there hasn't pirated.

Why would it be immoral if you're just copying? That's like getting a magic duplicator gun and duplicating something - I mean, you didn't do anything with the original. However, what you're duplicating is some beeps and boops.

Conclusion: I think it is not morally wrong.
