Ok. So let's say you have this really awesome idea for a new video game. And someone comes around and looks through all your notes and goes out and makes the exact same game before you have the chance to do the same.

Now what would any sane normal person say to that? "Some dude infringed on my intellectual property!!"

No. They would say, "Smurfing jackass stole my idea!"

Get it? Get it? Now don't come at me with any, "well, ACTUALLY, the law says blah blah...." What I'm trying to illustrate and what Breine and I have been saying all along is that it's pretty easy and quite normal to look at pirating and see that it's stealing. I keep saying this over and over, but it's just common sense. And we're using the word "steal" and "theft" the way more average people use the those words. In the general usage of those words and what those words mean to most people.

And you will never ever convince me that people who download stuff have never, not once, downloaded something that otherwise they would have paid for. I don't buy that at all.
