Illegal Downloading

[Recursion]

Once again, Stealing is not Piracy and Piracy is not stealing.

Im a 15 year old kid, I can't afford some software, i.e. Photoshop, I download it instead. I also want a MacBook, I can't afford it and there is no way of getting it for free without it being theft and so I don't get it.

There is a nice thick red line between Piracy and Theft.

(i.e. programs) You are STEALING their software, it might be only one license, but its STEALING THAT LICENSE which you SHOULD have to pay for it. That IS against the law, if you think its not you're an IDIOT. If your 15 and can't afford photoshop it's really simple, DONT USE IT use an alternative that's cheaper or free.

If you can't afford something, you don't get it, it's that simple.

If you can't afford a car you wouldn't dare steal a car, you'd live without it.

I don't steal stuff, I make copy's of it. There's a difference.

If its stealing then im a thief dont care as long as its free :8 they can take me to the civil courts but they have no chance of getting a penny
Police would perhaps give a caution as my stuff is just for personal use and not passed on

Definition of steal:

take without the owner's consent; "Someone stole my wallet on the train"; "This author stole entire paragraphs from my dissertation"



You're taking the programs without the owners consent and breaking other laws.

I illegaly download music but I'll pay for it if it's something decent or its for a good cause such as the X Factor song.

I am not taking them, I am copying them.

[scottish]

Illegally, either way breaking the law.

Using something for personal use instead of commercial use makes no difference.

Illegal downloading, what would we do without it?
