If you can’t own digital copies since they’re not property, then piracy isn’t theft.

Easy there on the sound logical arguments buddy, you'll have the lawyers shitting their pants.

It's not theft. It's why they named it piracy instead of theft. Because it's different.

It's weird this needs to be repeated so often. Just goes to show how often media corpos repeated the lie that creating a copy of something and sharing it with someone else is the same thing as stealing physical property from someone.
