‚so would you steal a car?‘ nono.. hear me out i actually have a thesis/question.

so, if you rent a car, that you don’t own, but ‚subscibe‘ to for a certain amount of time. does that mean by following the logic of this statement, that stealing this rented car is ok? im aware that this aims at software and the non-materialness of software but still.. do i have a point here?

That's why I claim ownership of every hotel room I've ever stayed in and every car I've ever rented.

I would steal this argument, but if it can be reposted here for free, then I don't think anybody really owns it. 🤔

Nonsense, paying doesn't always mean you get to own it. I would understand the excuse more if you let's say bought a game on Steam, but then Steam went away forever and you lost the game and you don't want to pay for it again. But by that time the game would be super cheap anyway... Well, unless it was now unavailable, then piracy is the only solution to actually getting it.

Child logic to justify behavior. Be better than this ya’ll.
