Technically it is theft, software is licensed from the publisher/developer whom still retain rights of ownership. Piracy is theft. And you being a developer should have already known this..

He sent me a warning via the disembodied soul.

Wow, go push your personal agenda somewhere else like a courtroom maybe?

I wasn't advocating piracy, as a software developer myself I would hate for my creations to be pirated. I was just stating it isn't theft.

No, it is copyright infringement.

Copyright infringement is just a more specific nomenclature for theft.
But any how, it's all illegal and has no place on our forums. Posted by: ApocalypeX

I don't think he was advocating it...

We're not having this discussion here. The rules are clear and will not change. If you want to debate this, go to another website.

I JUST SAID that advocating piracy on the public forums earns you a ban -- usually permanent. This will be your only warning.

Regardless of whatever you want to call it, copying software that you aren't allowed to is obviously morally bankrupt. You're robbing the makers of their compensation when you take something without paying for it (yes, even copies).

Playing semantics games won't save you.

Edit: Oops, looks like this wasn't the topic of the thread. My bad.

"I have no words that would do justice to the atrocities you commit to the English language, as well as your continued assaults on the concepts of basic literacy and logical reasoning."

This is not a discussion we want to have on bungie.net Don't pirate stuff, and your opinion on said state of affairs is not relevant on this site.

Locked.
