If we are what your user name suggests, then we need to be conscious of what we're doing.
Stealing is stealing, some stealing is justified, and pirating content is stealing. I'm not moralizing about it or any such thing; I've stolen lots of stuff, not proud but I admit it and stopped decades ago. If you want to do it because it's just digital content, that isn't my affair here; all I'm saying is at least admit you're stealing. Labeling shit as different than what it is and not admitting reality is something we rightly skewer others for doing.
ok, i understand what you're saying and that it is true to admit to our wrongdoings. i Have stolen things, and know how it feels. Pirating is sharing files from people who have the content already, and are putting the files online to share to others via download. If i own a DVD of a movie, and give it to my friend to watch when he wants, is my friend now stealing?
