If you took their special recipe and stood outside the bakery giving identical cookies away for free, thus directly lower g their sales, you would be, which is what pirating sites do

[(Anonymous)]

Yes, but a person who accepts the free cookie isn't stealing.

[(Anonymous)]

DA

i mean, this is a kind of interesting moral question on its own terms - is it morally allowable to accept goods that you know to be stolen?

[(Anonymous)]

I'd say it depends, but it certainly isn't the same as "theft" which the anon is saying.

[(Anonymous)]

no. It is literally illegal.

[(Anonymous)]

I said morally acceptable.

[(Anonymous)]

Right, and nobody is saying piracy ain't illegal. They're saying it's not the same as theft.

[(Anonymous)]

And unless they have an active registered patent, which seems unlikely, *that wouldn't be illegal,* other than maybe the standing outside the bakery part.

File-sharing is not stealing. It's an infringement on an exclusive right.

[(Anonymous)]

steal
stiːl/
verb
1.
take (another person's property) without permission or legal right and without intending to return it.

You aren't taking their cookies, so no, it's not stealing.

[(Anonymous)]

No, that isn't the same. Media isn't a cookie recipe. And you giving away free cookies would imply labor and resource costs on your part, thereby putting a hard limit on how much you'd be willing to do it. Pirating and distributing someone else's elaborate creation is a virtually limitless and effortless task.
