Yeah, but you've now got something that you didn't pay for that you're supposed to pay for.
I get that you haven't literally deprived them of anything (except a potential sale but that's dependent on whether you ever intended on buying it in the first place) but it's still kinda something you're not supposed to have but you do anyway.
If someone charged money to use the replicator but you just got one from it without paying (assuming infinite bananas here) then you've still stolen something.
Again, I've heard this before and I get the logic but it doesn't really track to me. I don't care, and it's about as victimless a crime as one can achieve but this always seemed like "uh actually..." trying to justify it rather than just owning it.
I really just don't understand the end game of this argument at all.
Super libshit, like, lmao, how can you even call yourself a socialist while still thinking people deserve unlimited rent seeking entitlement for “intellectual property” that only even exists thanks to innumerable unpaid contributions from the work of others.
Damn, that's crazy. Never said that though did I? I literally said it's fine to steal and that it's basically one of the most victimless crimes possible.
You can say that owning land is bullshit because of whatever theory you've got to prove it but it's still trespassing if you're on there without permission from the owner. How does that work? How do you own earth, dipshit? No one even made it.
Within our way of life, right now, you're supposed to pay for video games. Attaining them otherwise is something you're not supposed to do. If you got caught doing this you'd be punished "appropriately" depending on the magnitude of your "theft".
Not saying that we shouldn't change that, but we're clearly talking about different frameworks. Pointless struggle session. It's like 0230 here and I'm a dumbass for not sleeping, gn babe 🥰

This is literally the definition of capitalism. If you believe that it is right to hold and rent capital than you are not a socialist.
Counterpoint: it is theft, but theft is cool

lol if you had a replicator for bananas united fruit company would probably be working on murdering you.

I'm well aware. When did describing the system we currently live under suddenly become endorsement of said system?
