| I don't really think we should refer to this as stealing, because when you steal ie. someone's car, then they do not have it anymore, while when you download warez you are just copying it to your disk and the person who "originally" had the software does not "lose" it in any way.
So refer to is at illegal copying or copyright infringment or something, but not stealing.
It's biased, because it makes it sound worse than it is. Ie. the RIAA says "it's just like going to a store and taking a CD" - but it's not. They just phrase it like that to make it seem more wrong. It's more like going to your friends house and copying it to a tape. Of course if this happens on a mass scale it gets much worse, but still, the word stealing is not a good one.
Ok now I'm just repeating myself, you all get my point hopefully. |
