It is not stealing/theft. The person watching a non-sanctioned copy is not taking anything from anyone else. In your example, the car is gone, because the person wants it/takes it. What is physically taken in this instance? Did the person steal DVDs? Nope! Did the person steal a master copy of the work in question? Nope!

Yes, it is illegal, but it is not theft.

It is theft. When you steal from a big, anonymous company it doesn't seem like it. But it is. Every court in the world would agree.

[(Anonymous)]

EVERY court?

[(Anonymous)]

Maybe not the Taliban.

[(Anonymous)]

Taliban... the new Nazis.

[(Anonymous)]

yes because everyone who lives under the taliban has plenty of time to download anime

[(Anonymous)]

That's such a random comment.

[(Anonymous)]

Every court in the world would agree.

What the fuck? No they wouldn't. That is blatantly untrue. Copyright infringement is copyright infringement. It's a completely separate area of law.

Go read the wikipedia article on copyright infringement or something. It will be a far better use of your time than blabbering on about things you so obviously don't understand.

[(Anonymous)]

In some places there are exceptions to the relevant laws about copyright infringement (not theft) if you download a copy of something for temporary use but don't keep it. IME, they date back to before music streaming services were as common.

Shoplifting in Aldi is stealing from a big anonymous company.

Illegally downloading game of thrones is infringing on the copyright of a big anonymous company.

There there, I know it's difficult.

[(Anonymous)]

Something doesn't have to be a physical object to be stolen. Intellectual property is as much open to theft as is a painting.

It's theft. I'd argue in OP's situation it's not as bad as other things, but it's still theft.

[making_excuses]

I agree, and I am in the same situation. If I ever get caught I will pay my fine and get on with my life, because at the end of the day I actually do steal something, even if I don't want to it is still stealing. It isn't like I could not survive withut my television shows, so in theory I could stop downloading and start watching television and get the shows a year (or not at all) later...

[writerserenyty]

Yeah; I really wish more media was available more places, and I can totally sympathize (since my biggest fan interest is JPop, which loves region-locking/not selling internationally), but at the end of the day it's still stealing.

[making_excuses]

I agree.
