That's.. a good argument. I never thought of it like that.

Is it stealing if you don't pay for the cinema? You don't own anything new after.

Is it stealing if you don't pay for your haircut? You don't own anything new after.

Is it stealing if you don't pay for your car service? You don't own anything new after.

This needs to clarify digital piracy (even though the term already implies that) so people stop comparing renting physical things and spaces to it.

Exactly. If I bought a movie on Amazon, and Amazon stops existing, do I receive a physical copy/the ability to download my media? I paid for it.

I think we have to rephrase the meme here. If I BOUGHT a game on steam I do not own it even though I basically bought my own copy. I dont think rental or paying for a service is the same. They should just not disguise paying for a service as buying a product.

I agree. Amazon is unique in that you pay for each piece of media individually
