technically he is stealing a physical item that is no longer available to others
but really its a good reason to lock up more black people and take away their voting rights which is unironically a good thing
Intellectual property means the right to use as well as right to prohibit use. You wouldn't want a song you wrote to become say an anthem for pedophiles, so you're within your right to prevent an event you dislike from using your IP. Same goes for software, especially given that publisher doesn't see any income from you using their software on your PC
What happens if pedophiles start singing your song anyway? Not even at public events, but in their own homes? What if they never once use it in a monetized manner? You gonna start monitoring everyone every moment of the day? Should people be jailed because they're whistling your song on the way to work, and not giving you money constantly?
Bait threads and posts are the only thing that give me joy bros, if you see pro woke or pro chud stuff its just me trying to get any dopamine, as a hobby it beats videogames in entertainment
Bait has lost all it's art and we've move past that weird meta thing where you post obvious bait but it's your real unironic opinion. I dunno man, it's been like almost two decades, I think I'm ready to just go outside.
Without emulation 98% of retro games are unplayable.
If someone wants to play a game like Parasite Eve, which is not available on any digital storefronts, do you think they'll go out of their way and buy a PS1 + the game's CD? Come on
Never even liked CDs even back when I was burning my own PS1 rips, shit feels so flimsy only tiny estrogen-filled japanese hands could have nostalgia for them
>They don't even print the game any more, so I can't give them money even if I want to >OK, so they'll let you pay to download it on their virtual store, but they shouldn't just get to make money forever on a game they made so long ago
technically not, but even if it was i dont really give a shit about some company going bankrupt, let alone not getting my 60 dollars.
Who am i kidding, this is bait.

explain how pirating games is any different then tyrone and quintarius stealing from the gamestop at the mall. only the methods differ.
and the fact that all you're doing is copying a bunch of 1s and 0s and not taking a physical object
Sony says that the latter is okay because reparations.

i feel like everytime i check twitter, i come back here and see the same twitter threads here.
thats why i do it
Stick to exploring, puta.
I know this is a bait thread but is there anyone here who is against or partially against emulation?
Can ANYONE make a cohesive argument that emulation is wrong without arguing for laws that were effectively created by multinational corporations?

Pick your poison
>buy it on their virtual store
>pirate it so I can keep it forever
Problem solved.
no one *actually* cares about the ethics of video game piracy/emulation, right?
it's just baiting for (You)s, right?
such a strange thing to fixate on
99% of it is concern trolling.
technically not, but even if it was i dont really give a shit about some company going bankrupt, let alone not getting my 60 dollars.
Who am i kidding, this is bait.
buying is not owning, then piraccy is not stealing
*rapes you*
pirating and modding memes
If you make a perfect copy of super mario how is it theft? Mario's still over there
