    Copyright infringement is not theft, and it is not immoral. It has never been, and it will not start to be, just because a company we don’t like is doing it.

      All im saying is if the courts determine a business can use copyrighted material to make profit without permission, that seems to set a precedent that makes the high seas legal. Those pirates often arent even profiting off it.

      It just proves that property rights are, and always have been, arbitrary, based on power and material incentives. Not the inalienable rights that liberals think they are.
