      Literally nothing in my post claimed that, or even really implied that so I’m not sure what your point with this is?

        You are discussing piracy in the context of media and copyright infringement, in which the owner of the pirated material is a corporation and the pirate is an actual person.

        By comparing the act of pirating corporate owned digital material to a fictional scenario in which one person is copying another person’s physical possessions very much implies that you see the corporate owners of digital material as people.

        EDIT: I understand your point by the way. Is it ethical to pirate things? Maybe or maybe not, but I think the stance of most people here is that pirating stuff that is produced by giant, obscenely wealthy media conglomerates is generally okay.
