Shit, he can magically clone an object, leaving the original in its proper place? Gotta get me some of that.
>Physically removing a physical item is the same as copying a non-phyiscal item
The sad part is, most of you idiots aren't even posting this shit as a joke. You honestly think it's the same thing.
>Pirating $20 game
>Felony
you can only pirate things that are digital. If you pirate the blueprints for your 3D printed car and print out a physical car, you still had to pirate the digital blueprint.
Pirate can only work with digital.
> stealing a physical object that cost actual money to produce and ship is the exact same as downloading something for free
A developer doesn't have to spend more money to put out more digital copies of a game. They spend whatever it takes to put it into the store period.
Physical copies, on the other hand, are an actual tangible loss if they're taken, not to mention a retarded thing to steal in the first place.
Also
>>>> putting people out of their jobs
I legitimately can't think of a single time piracy has resulted in a fucking game dev studio shutting down.
enjoy getting raped in jail, piratecuck
What if I copy a book by writing it down by hand?
>I'm commiting a felony
Isn't piracy a misdemeanor?
>NOOO!! You can't buy a apple, take out the seeds, grow your own apple trees and give out those apples for free!!! Think of the poor billionaires not being able to pay their workers!
Does this actually work?
I haven't paid for apples in years.
Yes.
So by pirating, you mean the 40 total physical copies stays the same but you made a 41st for yourself?
That's okay i guess
It actually doesn't. Edible apple varieties have to be cloned. When you plant the seeds some genetic shit happens and they're likely to end up terrible and inedible.
The catch is it takes like 60 years for the trees to grow
White people always stealing shit
Cry more you bootlicking nigger
actual retards itt.
Bullshit, I didn't steal anything. Tim already paid for my copies.
This is probably the most retarded, while at the same time most based post, I've read in quite a while lmao
>dont worry they can just print out another one
Yes but that requires resources in the material world, pirating is just downloading a piece of code with infinite supply.
Don’t mind me, just pirating this post
If anything you are saving them server costs by using P2P.
Don’t mind me, just pirating this post
seething paycucks lmao
I pirate everything. Games, movies, music, anime. I'll pay for stuff I want to see more of, like DMC5. But otherwise, get fucked. No amount of whining or moralizing will make me stop. When my ISP sent me a letter complaining I called them and told them if they ever bothered me again I would cancel with them and join up with their competitor. Haven't heard shit since.
Theft is a misdemeanor. Most courts don't even recognize digital piracy as a crime, that's why every case an army of lawyers have to convince a judge and/or jury that their company suffered "damages." It's civil, unless you're redistributing or profiting from the act.
No you didnt. You just sit in your mom’s house and use her internet.
You faggot.
naw, /t/ said it was ok
Or more likely you live in an area where the breed of apple shipped would never grow because it's colder/warmer/dryer/wetter/different soil.
>60 years before a tree can bear apples
it ranges from 6 to 10 years for the average apple tree you silly goose
game dev isnt a real job
You won't produce that identical fruit cultivar, but yes, planting an apple seed will grow an apple tree.
Grafting would technically be a closer analogy to pirating, as you would reproduce a genetically identical plant, albeit by cutting part of the original.
Apply that to any office bullshit and your correct. Yet it puts food on the table
>having to buy the apple
Just go to a place that sells apple trees and "pirate" a branch with a bud or two
>thinking "piracy" is the same as "stealing"
try again.
Why yes it is, the only difference is that one typically happen on boats.
