"If buying isn't owning, piracy isn't stealing" is easily the greatest quote of my life, and I will bring it up in every conversation about piracy or the video game industry.
The moment we can pirate ALL online games will be the greatest moment in gaming
This applies especially well to games or services that give you "guaranteed" lifetime ownership, but then just take it away anyways. You see this in Rossman's video.
Ubisoft moment
This applies to a lot of games today. I also pirate. But only old nintendo games and nintendo luckily hasn’t done this trend yet
Piracy isnt stealing no matter what. It is just a copyright infringement. Stealing means forcibly taking something from somebody else. When pirating you are not directly harming the original creator, you just geting it for yourself for free but the owner still has accest to it.
"Piracy is an issue of service, not price." ~Gabe Newell
It made a lot of sense, since ownership from the consumer and to the publisher, but with companies trying to take it away from them it leads to big problems.
Note: relationship with customers and publishers are very burnted since the Live-Service Record we're showed to be poor in other words. Game Publishers: Nuh uh.
Well, sometimes, in some countries it is for price (like, in some places photoshop is absurdly expensive". But yeah, in most cases you are right

You're not even loosing any money if someone pirates your game. I mean just like on the video most people pirate when they can't afford a legal purchase so they wouldn't buy your game anyway
_region locks left the chat_
_basic greed or money saving left the chat_
@@IAmFlashTeamYT i said most, not all. And pracy is not a good way to save money if you can afford the game. I mean the priated game that you're downloading could be a virus
Honestly if you look at statustics then most piracy rates are heavily exaggerated. Pirates who would've paid otherwise have never been a majority or even a substantial minority. Piracy alone will never make or break a release.
And for indie devs piracy often works as viable advertisement, as the visibility they get can get lead to more sales in the long run than short-term losses from piracy.
And the other thing is that if the game is so good they might buy at a later time because they feel bad and want to support it
I only pirated games I couldn't buy (or when I didn't have an bank account). Majority of games I pirated are old games like gba games, so pirating them doesn't steal any money from nintendo, I'm just not giving money to the guy selling them overpriced on ebay. The few recent games I pirated I already bought or plan on buying when I'm able to. I know I can't speak for everyone, but I heard many similar stories. If someone really likes a game, they will buy it even if pirating is an easier option, even if they already pirated it they will buy it. If someone doesn't like a game that much, they wouldn't by the game in the first place.

@@United. Leave the russian internet kids alone, they're cool and funny, just like me, other ukrainians and foreigners alike.
That last line was perfection. More game companies should take note.
I don’t know what it is like in other countries, but in Russia piracy is a common occurrence. All my games and 70% of my programs are prirat. According to the law, at home you can download whatever you want for free, but on a computer in an office, school, factory, etc., you need a license
Жиза, но у меня весь пк с пиратками(кроме бесплатных игр и программ)

inaccuracy
pirates dont get caught often
and the law usuually is after the one distributing it not the ones downloading it
And the law doesn't always punish them unless they are selling it for money
In Poland only the distributing one commits a crime its legal to download
The laws only support the people than are rich, is not something of ethical matters, its about people than have power and do what they want.
Fortunately, piracy is only a civil crime. So there’s, virtually, no consequences now
Only 1 minutes. I am satisfied.
God I hate the phrase, "If buying isn't owning, then piracy isn't stealing", it literally never was theft.
If it was theft, then it would reflect in sales, but since piracy is tapping into a market of those that can't buy the game, then all piracy will do is make the game sell more.
This has literally been observed in multiple studies, even one by the UN, where piracy increased sales for both video games and music, (though in that one not movies but maybe don't spend so much on advertising lol).
And yet we somehow got DRM.
The phrase exists because people and companies act like it is theft. It became a lot more popular recently when Ubisoft said people should get more comfortable not owning games.
So yeah, there's a bit of context around it.
@@jesfest I understand, I still hate it though since it's conceding to a terrible point for "arguments sake", when it should instead be approached like the "I refuse the question" guy that was a meme a while ago.
i don't think it will ever be possible for me to NOT see pirating as stealing
that's pretty much what it is, unless you have some fair reason to do so (like "the game is literally banned in my country" for example)
@@jesfest if buying does *not* equal owning, then using that quote is reasonable; If buying *does* equal owning, it is not
I definitely appreciate how you acknowledged that Piracy is a service-issue with that third guy trying to pay but being unable to rather than just people who will never want to pay
Remember guys: It's morally correct to pirate a gale made by a morally bad creator
And now i can't fix the typo cause the comment got hearted
Anyways pretend "gale" is "game"
@@Erased_UnityXDXNo, I will assume gale is galley. To the sea, boys!
@@heinzguderian628 Whathever floats your boat
This is on the same level as stealing the wallet of a mob boss lol
Piracy wouldn't be stealing, but my point is that I doubt it is justified to deny payment to a "bad" publisher for simply being bad, given you are able to afford the game properly and the game is well made. I'd suggest separating the creator from the creation.
for example?
bad guy is actually the good guy for providing free softwares
i thank the russians for pirating services 🙏

Great! Now explain how CD keys work like G2A and where they obtained it (Devs hate key resellers more than us pirating their games).
Yeah, the key reselling business is far more shady than piracy. I am sure that I may have unknowingly acquired games which were bought with stolen credit cards.
Because unlike piracy, key reselling actually hurts creators.

'if buying isn't owning, then piracy isn't stealing' this man said straight facts
Ah yes, piracy. The only illegal act that is justified.
Not the only one, legality isn't morality.
The question is, what is the consequential differwnce between playing a game your friend bought and pirating? They seem the exact same
If you just borrow the game, it's nothing. If you copy the owned game, then it's considered piracy.
@@JRPGLOVER I know but what's the difference in terms of how it affects the devs?
I guess it only matters for multiplayer.
Pirating a copy to play online with your friend means two copies are required, vs playing at a friend's house means you're missing that feature.
Also, you should look up the new family share steam is rolling out
They are the same. The only difference is the company can't stop you from lending your physical copy to a friend.
the difference is, for the former developers received money while for the latter they don't
unless you meant: "someone's friend bought the game while said person pirated it", in which case i don't think there's any real difference
The bad guy isn't really "bad" here since he is helping more people than he think
now i understand what piracy is thx
Piracy is caused by a service problem. If the service is trash, then there will be a piracy. It is what it is I suppose
Привет из России, тут пиратство - норма, даже некоторые чиновники выссказывались:"Не покупайте зарубежные цифровые интернет продукты, либо пиратьте, либо пользуйтесь нашим, ОТЕЧЕСТВЕННЫМ!"

Can you truly buy 1's and 0's?
can you buy an idea, a concept?
what if your 1's and 0's are easily duplicated and thus in theory had infinite supply?
could you sell Air?
O'Hare sold air so...
you are implying mass and energy can be duplicated. this would literally be a perpetuum mobile and thus an absolutely stupid comparison to make
Well, if you buy oxygen tank for diving, then you technically pay for "air" though.
@@JRPGLOVERuh... people don't buy oxygen tanks like propane tanks, those things are way more expensive, and usually any center will pump the air for free

Dehexho, no es algo malo piratear en si, por varias razones, por ejemplo la gente no siempre tiene oportunidad para poder jugar videojuegos por razones economicas, ademas hay ocaciones que no se pueden condeguir esos video juegos de manera legal, porque ya no estan a la venta como los budokai o videojuegos mas clasicos, y tambien podemos decir que esta bien hacerlo cuando se lo hacen a empresa abusiva
このフォーマットでどんどん味を占めていけ。
