I remember my brother once telling me this:
"You wouldn't download a car"
Well if I could magically construct an infinite number of copies of a car it's not the same thing...not that I would ever pirate anything! That would be a horrible thing to do
So if I use your toothbrush to clean my asshole it's fine cuz it's still there right?
Didn’t really think this one through.
Sure. I can even spit extra on it no charge if that makes your day. Just download me a clean one afterwards will you.
No, because you're still tampering with the original product. That is not analogous to piracy. If you make a perfect 1:1 replica of my toothbrush, and use that to pleasure yourself, I don't care, because my toothbrush is still in my bathroom untouched.
If you can exactly copy said toothbrush and then clean your filthy bunghole with the copy it is totally fine, yeah.
