    You’re good at intellectual property rights violations. You broke the law. And yet, you did not steal .

      Sure, a court would charge you with different crimes, but the concept is the concept and a forum post is not court.

      I prayed shit all the time when I couldn’t afford it. When I got money, I eventually rebuilt a lot of those games for convenience’s sake. Comics, not so much, but I have thousands upon thousands of them.

      I did it because I couldn’t afford it. If you take something that is being sold, without paying for it, how is that concept not stealing?
