Rules:
- 1: No spam or advertising. This basically means no linking to your own content on blogs, YouTube, Twitch, etc.
- 2: No bigotry or gatekeeping. This should be obvious, but neither of those things will be tolerated. This goes for linked content too; if the site has some heavy "anti-woke" energy, you probably shouldn't be posting it here.
- 3: No untagged game spoilers. If the game was recently released or not released at all yet, use the Spoiler tag (the little ⚠️ button) in the body text, and avoid typing spoilers in the title. It should also be avoided to openly talk about major story spoilers, even in old games.

You arent actually putting forward a productive premise, of course no one is treating it as such
If I've said something false, let me know. As far as I'm aware, what I've said is how the law works (at least in the US). I understand if you don't like those laws, but that doesn't make them not exist, nor does it make them irrelevant when someone makes a reductive statement like "if buying isn't ownership, then piracy isn't stealing". The fact is, in some cases, it is.
Nice, more bad faith misinterpreting of the point
