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

you cant steal something that isnt fucking physically real
am i stealing smells and sounds from my neighbors
no democrat city judge would side with a corpo over a random joe with a bangin lawyer
Your last sentence sounds unhinged but I agree wtiu the rest
What would you call it if you make a contract with a gardener, they make your entire garden and then you don’t pay them. Since it’s not stealing, where is the harm, right?
You’re stealing their time. That’s not really comparable since the people who made the tv show or movie you’re pirating have already been paid.
Do you believe actors etc. would still keep getting paid if everyone would just pirate everything?
Do you believe there will ever be a time where everyone pirates everything?
Since the idea seems to be that pirating digital goods is a moral imperative, the question what are the consequences if everyone would do it is valid.
Er… first off, you signed a contract. Second, you’d be stealing their labor. Their physical labor.
