A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.
Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

Bruh, no one in here is arguing about legality, we're arguing about morality, and no one but corporate shills buy into "potential sales" having value.
You're trying to argue against what people just fundamentally, intuitively understand; copyright is a legal construct (not a moral one) that is 99% bullshit.
What are you talking about? That's literally the entire point of the article and this comment section.
Now you're the one being obtuse, unless you're claiming that you're actually arguing that you can be charged with theft, which you can't be, because legally, copyright infringement isn't theft.
Yes, but then everyone started talking about morality.
