I don't agree, because the result from a corporation or small creator's point of view is the same. This is what I wanted pointing out and I think my analogy still stands.

This is why some companies are also against sharing physical copies (why some games are only DLC or PS5 has a version without the disk reader) and DMR like Denuvo or -you gotta always be on the internet and have an unique licence- games exist nowadays (FUCK ME I'M TIRED AND CANNOT WRITE ATM).
Companies HATES second markets that pay no commission to them (ex. no Gamespot, but eBay) just as much as pirates. You consume the media, but you don't pay. You're a leech from their POV. So. If piracy is "stealing", so is borrowing a book or a DVD from a friend.

Bootlegs are things that are PRODUCED illegally. They're copies of concerts etc or fake books, not officially produced by the creators, so you can't really compare those to official books or games sold on auctions.
If you mean pirated copies sold as genuine on the street market well, no shit they're not the same as the thing I'm talking about because there's someone directly profiting from selling fake copies, actively "stealing" the money inbetween the customer and the producer. In the street market a customer is PAYING money that doesn't go to the producer of media, meanwhile torrenting from home does not involve any money from the customer and consumer of media.
Still, this doesn't invalidate my analogy.

For context: I don't pirate nowadays. I think I've pirated the last movie 10 years ago and it was a 60's movie.
I've got a family account for Netflix, Spotify, Hulu, Crunchyroll, Amazon Prime and an account on Disney+. I buy games almost exclusively from GOG.com because they have no DMR. I buy books because I love having a pretty bookshelf and I share it with my family and friends. I have a family bookshelf with more than 3.000 books, mostly classics and some recent books, and more than 1.000 manga volumes. I buy everything from the local small library because I prefer buying locally. I have access to the public library, too, and sometimes donate requested books and money. I'm not rich, but I value art and education above everything else, so I invest all my money there.

Still, even if I don't actively do it and usually avoid anything illegal on the internet, piracy is not "STEALING". That word is wrong.
My post was not in fact justifying piracy, it was pointing out that it is not "stealing". And I spoke only about the monetary aspect of the thing, not the morally one. I'm actually against piracy myself.
Saying that PIRACY IS STEALING is like unironically citing that meme of YOU WOULDN'T STEAL A CAR!!!! It's just silly.

DA

It’s DRM, not DMR.

Thanks for the heads up. I have a lot of problems with English acronims. Will pay more attention to this next time.

It’s not a problem, and I completely understand.
