Legally I agree with you but for people who have no interest in the legal profession I think we would use the term 'stealing' to cover all the different flavors and methods of illegally obtaining something be it through evading taxes or downloading torrents. And tbh if tax evasion was as easy as piracy I'm pretty sure we would all be doing that too. Most of us probably aren't morally opposed to committing that kind of crime just lazy.

I'm not going to comment on the rape and genocide because I don't think that would be helpful or constructive in any way.

So... piracy is tax evasion, for the lay person? Even though tax fraud "obtains" literally nothing, not even access to an unlicensed copy? The lay person is incapable of understanding a more nuanced reality than "do bad things with property? Stealing! Stealing is make bad with property"?

Well, you heard it here folks. Piracy is tax evasion.

At least the "lay person" can tell the difference between piracy and genocide, apparently.

That's... ... ...something.

Fine. Anyone who doesn't use proper legal terms in casual conversation is an asshole. You win.

"Asshole" isn't quite what I was going for. The word I was going for was rather different.

No, in all seriousness, I apologize. My response to you was over the top. It was the previous poster who was insisting that they were factually the same act - not you, who made it very clear that they weren't but that casual, technically incorrect language was common though intended to carry the same spirit - that got me all frothy with rage.

And I took it out on you. My bad. That was dickish, and I'm sorry.

As someone who does have an interest in the legal profession, I can tell you: 'Stealing' isn't a legal term. It's just a regular word that means pretty much what you said.
