    GOT wasn’t funded through culture. Also they most certainly didn’t ignore it, they just failed to stop it.

    Do my a favor and stick your assumptions up your mother’s asshole. I’m a pirate, I just don’t have any delusions about what it is. I’m not so egotistical that I need to convince myself that it’s not stealing just because I’m doing it.

      I find your pirate cred dubious. You came onto a pirate thread to throw shade, which smacks to me of Christian vigilantes wandering into a gay bar to start trouble. Or a guy online compelled to send his dick-pic to women online for internal insecurities he can’t consciously fathom.

      You’re not here to protest the problems with stealing, not in the current economic clime. You’re here because you need to shit on others, and are trying to justify it by opposing piracy when even the IP holders know it’s losing game that only hurts themselves. It’s the legal firms they’ve tapped who are over eager to show they’re earning their pay.

      You want to evade my assumptions, go crawl back into your hole, or do some proper fucking research. (Start here, and enjoy.).

      But so long as you’re raising a stink and I’m nearby, you’re going to have to choke on the toxic vitriol of my ideology. I won’t suffer your moralizing in silence.

        The mere notion that piracy might be stealing sends you into a paragraphs long tirade. Pretty stupid. I simply don’t care that it’s stealing.

          Piracy is always stealing. Y’all can keep trying to spin it if it helps, but its pure copium.

          So you’re just being equivocal and trolling?

            Simply stating the obvious. You still seem to be under the impression that I’m attacking piracy lmfao… I’m just calling it what it is. I endorse any kind of piracy, I am simply under no delusion that it’s moral or not stealing.

              ELI5 then. How is it obvious that piracy is stealing? How is piracy not moral?

                Taking something that does not belong to you. Even if you disagree with business practices, that does not give you right to a product.

                  taking something that does not belong to you does not explain how it is obvious that piracy is stealing, and suggests you don’t actually know the difference.

                  Do you know the difference between copyright infringement / patent infringement and theft?

                  Care to try again?
