Sheesh, OneAngryGamer helping me dodge bullets as always. I'll wait for the crack, then.
You are no better than a looting nigger if you pirate the game simply because you disagree with the devs.
Piracy is not theft because there exist infinite copies of the game and it is thus practically infinitely renewable. That's like saying putting windmills or solar panels on your house is actually stealing.
That's fundamentally at odds with intellectual property rights though. That's like saying stealing books isn't theft just because it can be reprinted. Digital distribution is just a more efficient method of distribution, that doesn't mean the IP holders aren't entitled to monetize it as they see fit.
Correct, hence why many people object so strongly to it. Even the term "intellectual property" is a rather loaded term.
Incorrect. If I steal a book, you no longer have it, and it costs you resources to replace it.
Physical objects have a cost of labor, construction, and shipping attached that digital does not.
Stealing is when i take something from you and you don't have it anymore. Unlike theft, If my book or game is pirated, I still have the book.
Do you apply the same logic to hollywood?
I was under the impression DF was and is going to continue to be free.
Well, less steam download stats then. Every little bit helps.
