If you really believe that then why are you on a piracy forumn?

There's nuance in the pirate ranks my dude. Some people don't really believe in property rights at all, some people think that piracy is acceptable when you can't afford/obtain the original, some just like to try before they buy.

Some think it's ok for them to steal but not for them to be stolen from.

Edit: dont shoot the messenger

Hey, if you can't be consistent at least be honest.
