If buying isn't owning, then piracy isn't stealing.

If commenting isn't owning, then copying it isn't stealing!

I saw that exact quote the other day in a piracy thread. First time I'd seen it.. nice to be there when a meme is born.

I love this quote. Imagine giving money to someone and getting nothing in return. fml

However, just because something isn’t for sale it doesn’t mean you aren’t stealing it.
