"Digital stocks" don't exist. The concept of "stock" - i.e. a finite amount of products to sell - is simply inapplicable to the digital realm. Everything is infinite when you can duplicate it as many times as you want.

And yet by the law you can't make more than one copy of a thing you bought, even for yourself, it's considered piracy then.

Oh, come on, that's just lazy. Less name-calling, more debating.
|
You didn't give me any arguments in the paragraph I quoted, just the statement. I didn't even have anything to work with, and you're calling me lazy?

Or did you mean pirating something you already own a functional legal copy of?
|
That's exactly what I meant. Paying before pirating, that's the case sometimes. I should have explained it more, I thought you'd get it.

"I once bought a coffee from a shop, therefore I already paid for a coffee, therefore I can drink as many individual coffees as I want"
|
Come on, you can't compare buying food to buying entertainment. Do you suggest I should pay each time I listen to a song? You know, that applies to coffee, except it's "drinking" there.

Those are problems, but no-one pulls the money out of your hands. If you make an error of judgement and buy a bad game, that's still your mistake, and the bill sits squarely with you. Welcome to the adult world.

That's actually up to interpretation. I don't think it's my mistake, since marketing is a vile beast and can manipulate the consumer completely. Imagine you saw an advert of a banana in TV (weird situation, but plausible) and it made you want that banana really much because of it's banananess. You bought one wrapped in a way so you can't see what's in it (it's kinda shaped like a banana). You unwrapped it and it's a cucumber. Let's say you hate cucumbers. Was it
really your mistake of judgement? I'd say no.

Then you need to start acting like it. Stop treating theft like the norm, and stop demonising legitmate purchases.

I've never started. They're awesome. What made you think I hate that?

"Everyone who disagrees with me is a bad person"

That, except "provides statements without backup and is pretty closed-minded about them" instead of "disagrees with me"
