Yeah pirating is theft even if the company in question has plenty of money

2020-10-05 17:04:26 UTC  

I never said it wasn’t theft

2020-10-05 17:05:08 UTC  

Maybe I’m just thinking of it like a Robin Hood situation I dunno

2020-10-05 17:05:17 UTC  

steal from the rich give to the poor

2020-10-05 17:05:23 UTC  

No I’m not a socialist

2020-10-05 17:05:32 UTC  

Yeah I see your mindset at least

2020-10-05 17:05:34 UTC  

I just don’t like huge corporations telling me what to do

2020-10-05 17:05:59 UTC  

Okay, but that’s acting like Robin Hood was in the right to steal? He was stealing from the government due to unfair taxes, but this is stealing from corporations, because you believe you can determine the value of their goods.

2020-10-05 17:06:17 UTC  

Yeah that’s the issue ^

2020-10-05 17:07:01 UTC  

perfectly put Froski

@Froski Corporations that control the government.

2020-10-05 17:07:54 UTC  

And in the case of many corporations, are controlled by China

Did Tyler just reveal unusual intelligence? He just said in his latest vid everyone has to take Calculus in high school. Maybe he did but I think you have to be in AP math to be taking Calculus in high school unless schools have changed since my youth. (Though I suppose that’s very possible)

2020-10-05 17:08:59 UTC  

if you opt for more advanced classes, yes, you can take calculus in high school

@Razor Racoon I’m in Honors Pre-Calc as a Junior

2020-10-05 17:09:20 UTC  

I'm in geometry as a freshman lol

2020-10-05 17:09:33 UTC  

Yes, AP stands for “Advanced” ... uhm... something.

2020-10-05 17:09:39 UTC  

Advanced Placement

2020-10-05 17:09:43 UTC  

But it’s not the standard. That’s what I’m saying.

2020-10-05 17:09:43 UTC  

And? Do you get to determine the value of the goods of another just because who owns the business?

2020-10-05 17:09:53 UTC  

Thx, war dog!

2020-10-05 17:10:19 UTC  

I determine the values of goods and services based on what the goods and services are worth

2020-10-05 17:10:50 UTC  

Value is subjective. Agree. Wait, what are we talking about? Don’t make me scroll up. Haha

@Razor Racoon piracy

2020-10-05 17:11:57 UTC  

Okay, so are you saying that games that you would decide to steal through piracy have no value?

2020-10-05 17:12:59 UTC  

No I’m saying it’s not worth $60 or more

2020-10-05 17:14:22 UTC  

Would you steal printer ink from staples just because it's overpriced?

2020-10-05 17:14:52 UTC  

Printer ink is pretty expensive 🤔

2020-10-05 17:15:09 UTC  

...

2020-10-05 17:15:09 UTC  

But no because that’s taking a physical item

2020-10-05 17:15:12 UTC  

Well, the worth isn't up to you. And when you think of the amount of work, time, etc. that goes into making a game or movie, and all the people that get paid in the process, it is probably worth enough. Although all you may see is the corporation, each corporation relies on employees. If you do not believe it to be worth what the corporation is selling it for, don't buy it. But at the same time, no matter what you have determined the worth to be, it is theft and therefore wrong.

2020-10-05 17:15:29 UTC  

There is a “limited” quantity of the cartridges for printer ink

2020-10-05 17:15:49 UTC  

Some of these games cost hundreds of thousands or more to make

2020-10-05 17:16:08 UTC  

There is a limited quantity in regards to server capacity as well. Even though you may not hold the game, it has a physical item value.

2020-10-05 17:16:51 UTC  

He is in law school lol^

2020-10-05 17:17:24 UTC  

And the "physical item" aspect fails to, especially when you begin looking into services...should we decide not to pay doctors and make hospitals free because we have determined the value to be less than what they charge?

2020-10-05 17:17:28 UTC  

Alright then

2020-10-05 17:17:34 UTC  

Think like this

2020-10-05 17:17:41 UTC  

You don’t like what a company does

2020-10-05 17:17:43 UTC  

No, don't tell us how to think.

2020-10-05 17:17:44 UTC  

What do you do?
