The ability to change features, prices, and availability of things you’ve already paid for is a powerful temptation to corporations.

HBOs service is “provide access to GoT”
If you provide access to GoT, by acquiring their content and then redistributing it, you are stealing the same way you pimping your prostitute is stealing.
Idk why people here love stealing but hate admitting it. It’s fuckin weird. Like the literal word used is “piracy” for shits sake lol
Piracy is used to equate copyright infringement with theft.
Is drawing your own Mickey Mouse and selling it theft? You did all the work and took nothing from Disney.
If you make a copy of Mickey Mouse at no cost to Disney and sell it, is that theft? You took nothing from Disney.
If you have a really good hamburger at McDonald’s, make your own copy and sell it at your stores is it theft? No, and that is where the Big Mac came from, a copy of someone else’s work.
Copyright infringement is not theft. Not all copies of something are copyright infringement. Pimping someone is human trafficking, not theft.
