No one is hurt, but that doesnt make it right. regardless, you are effectively taking something from someone, without giving them anything in return. You probably have multiple eggs in your fridge, if i came in your house, and took one of your eggs because i was starving, of course thats wrong. But you have more, and can likely buy as many as u want so, its not that bad, like i said, nothing to lose sleep over.
As I said, I believe that if no-one is hurt it genuinely
can't be wrong.
And if you were genuinely starving, I'd probably just
give you an egg if you asked, and I wouldn't be that pissed off about you stealing one if you were really hungry. But the analogy doesn't stand up. It's more like you replicating one of my eggs without my permission and then eating it. In that case, I lose nothing and you gain an egg.
its intellectual property, meaning that the "idea" is what belongs to the company, and you are taking the idea, and my point still stands, it's taking what isnt yours, and giving nothing in return. and people are right, it IS, a luxury item, there are hundreds of people who can afford games who dont buy them, you have no inherent right to play video games, so why is it not wrong to steal them, even if you couldnt pay for them anyway. thats not a reason, its a justification and and excuse, and the fact is, you are stealing just so you can entertain yourself. the right thing to do, would be to buy something like bicycle, and get hours and hours and years and years of fun out of it, but like i said,
it doesnt hurt anyone, so its nothing to lose sleep over.
