Whatever you need to tell yourself to justify your stealing.
It isn't stealing, nothing is being taken.
My legal right to distribute my works how I see fit is absolutely being stolen. I'm absolutely allowed to sell my work in limited quantities.
Nothing has been taken from you. You still own your work and can still use it and distribute it.
Whatever you need to tell yourself. That's not the law, and you are stealing my legal right to control my works.
Incorrect. Show me here where it says copyright infringment is theft: https://www.gov.uk/guidance/intellectual-property-crime-and-infringement
Or if you're American: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Copyright_infringement
"However, copyright is a type of intellectual property, an area of law distinct from that which covers robbery or theft, offenses related only to tangible property. Not all copyright infringement results in commercial loss, and the U.S. Supreme Court ruled in 1985 that infringement does not easily equate with theft."
That is the law. Hubris much?
👌👍🤡
Trump level of delusional behavior.
So all you have is the sophistry of personal attacks, hubris, and now you add TDS.
Funny you're so ate up with hate you have to insert Trump into this.

How dare people "steal" a 30-year-old game that no one is selling anymore!
Tell me you are lacking so much knowledge on how computers work that you shouldn't be allowed to use them without telling me.
I do LFS for funsies. Please resort to more personal attacks because the reality hurts.
Doesn't change what I said.
👌👍
That you don't know the difference between theft and copyright infringement tells us all we need to know.
Whatever little semantics you need to justify your stealing 🤷♂️
Cute.
When did I say I pirate?
Again, more sophistry and hubris.
Theft implies ownership. Even if you buy the game, the company or library host you bought it from doesn't consider it yours. So why would pirating a game be ownership, or "theft," either? Companies say what's in their best interest, money. Ownership, especially of digital media, is a social construct. Writing a file onto your disk is not stealing, as it implies limited supply. No product should have infinite profit, it should be relational to labor not money.
You are stealing my right to distribution. I've addressed this.
Doesn't detract from my point, it's still not taking any supply. Right to distribution is a social construct, not a material good
