    If you want to play a game - pay the owner.

    If you can’t afford it - don’t pirate it. It’s not yours.

      If you can’t afford it then pirate it. There is no victim so I really see 0 reason not to.

      “it’s not yours” is not valid. Who owns it then? Disney? Why does Disney deserve to own it any more than you? They didn’t put in any work to make it, the actors, directors, vfx artists, writers, producers, camera people, etc etc made the film. How come they don’t own any of it?

        “it’s not yours” is not valid.

        Huh? The legal system would politely disagree.

        Who owns it then?

        For the USA look it up in the USPTO database (USPTO = United States Patent and Trademark Office) or in game’s EULA.

          You specifically chose one sentence from my argument and anilised that while ignoring all of the context around it.

          Do you understand there is a difference between what is legal and what is ethical and sometimes the law can be unfair or unethical?

          I still dont see any issues in a victimless crime.
