Pirating the game just to take a screen shot is STILL pirating it!
|
Piracy is downloading software without paying for it. I HAVE PAID FOR THE SOFTWARE.
Stealing a CD after paying for a download is wrong, because someone has to lose their CD. But who loses out if I buy the CD and then download the game? The company already has my money; it isn't as if they lose my business.
Piracy is wrong because pirates don't reward the labor that goes into the software that they steal. I
have provided that reward, so how do I not have the right to benefit from the labor? I paid for the right to use that software; if it means using a workaround like this, so be it.
