No. Piracy is not okay, and nowhere in my post did I say it was okay. If you're trying to troll me, you need to try a hell of a lot harder than that.
My point still stands though. Piracy is not theft. It's a very clear cut line. It's not debatable.
Piracy is considered "unlawful" in most countries. It's technically illegal due to various legislation, yet I don't know any police force in the world that actively enforces it. It's still not "okay", but it's become second nature to denizens of the internet. How many people are left that buy all of their music?
If piracy is theft, then it would imply reduced profits. There are a number of cases where piracy has caused profits to increase, and some where profits have doubled or even trebled as a direct result of piracy. Of course, there are also cases of the opposite... but in the eyes of any law, piracy does not qualify as theft (many people who pirate never had intention of buying the games in the first place). Those who wish to debate, can always argue with a lawyer.
Unimportant point: you are easy to troll, but nobody is trying.
Important point: I vote for increased love piracy!
