    in wage theft, there is an agreement about getting paid, and the employer fraudulently does not pay that. I have no such agreement with ubisoft or blizzard.

      Ok, but you acquiring content through piracy also is fraud and also makes you acquire something someone worked for without compensating them when the agreement they had with society in general was that they would make their creation available in exchange for money.

      But hey, social contract, who needs that? 🤷

          It is if the person sharing it isn’t the original creator, they do it in a way that makes it so you’re now in possession of the content and they do it without the creator’s approval.

          You guys are so good at mental gymnastics, you should use some of that energy to understand laws and to think about more than your self interest.
