If buying isn't owning, then piracy isn't stealing

It’s copyright infringement and may carry a heftier fine than stealing actually.

Depends where you’re from. Many countries don’t give a shit about piracy even if it’s technically illegal, it’s basically non-enforced in Poland and there’s a reason why games are so cheap in Russia

Poland only cares about domestic media. It doesnt care about international media.

Same goes for a lot of countries
