      Well first of all, yes it is stealing to take something that does not belong to you. The definition of stealing is not beholden to the consequences of the actions itself.

      Furthermore, if you pirate to avoid paying a subscription, then yes they are losing something. I’m a massive pirate. I steal all my media. I feel no guilt and I also have no delusions about what I am doing. I do it to save money.

        you are not taking anything . literally nothing.

        im just looking at the thing and making a very good copy with my hard drive. literally taking a picture of something.

        0 objects will be transferred to me in this example. nothing,nada,nulla.

          Yes you are taking something. Of course you are. You are a taking a video file which you do not have the right to. Why do you need to convince yourself there is nothing grimy about doing? Like jesus christ, just be grimey. Wht you gotta lie to yourself?

            no im not. my man you can repeat this all day but it doesnt make it true. you dont TAKE anything through the internet. this is FACT. you cant make up physics…

            you can look at something and make an exact copy of it. no objects get transferred. its not a thing.
