Say it louder with me for the people in the back.
Piracy is not stealing.

"If buying is not owning, then piracy is not stealing."

I gotta say I love this meme. I think about it every time a tech company does something really scummy to take away features and products that people have purchased (and not rented/leased).

I wouldn't ever buy the content so it's not a lost sale either. All I've done is copy a file. gasp

You're not allowed to buy the content anyways. You're only allowed to pay for the illusion of ownership, until they decide they don't want to host it anymore, and then you lose it. They're such bullshit artists that they redefine common words like "buy" and "own" in their ToS.

I believe their justification would be that you aquiring the media is a definite loss of sale vs you not subbing/buying the media is a potential sale in the future.
Edit: Not my opinion. Just imagining how they would justify it before court should it come to it.
-
By that same rational: My not getting a raise is a lost sale because if I had more money I would buy more. So is corporate profit a lost sale?

Correct. I wouldn’t steal a car. But I would absolutely make a perfect copy of a car for free.
