Comic Strips is a community for those who love comic stories.
The rules are simple:
- The post can be a single image, an image gallery, or a link to a specific comic hosted on another site (the author's website, for instance).
- The comic must be a complete story.
- If it is an external link, it must be to a specific story, not to the root of the site.
- You may post comics from others or your own.
- If you are posting a comic of your own, a maximum of one per week is allowed (I know, your comics are great, but this rule helps avoid spam).
- The comic can be in any language, but if it's not in English, OP must include an English translation in the post's 'body' field (note: you don't need to select a specific language when posting a comic).
- Politeness.
- Adult content is not allowed. This community aims to be fun for people of all ages.

Theft implies ownership. Even if you buy the game, the company or library host you bought it from doesn't consider it yours. So why would pirating a game be ownership, or "theft," either? Companies say what's in their best interest, money. Ownership, especially of digital media, is a social construct. Writing a file onto your disk is not stealing, as it implies limited supply. No product should have infinite profit, it should be relational to labor not money.
You are stealing my right to distribution. I've addressed this.
Doesn't detract from my point, it's still not taking any supply. Right to distribution is a social construct, not a material good
