    Are you not depriving someone else of their legal right to control the distribution of copies of their work?

      Yes, which is not theft. It’s not murder either. Nor is it blasphemy. It’s just copyright infringement.

      If you don’t drink a verification can, are you depriving Mountain Dew of their legal right to make you drink verification cans? If you don’t enroll in the IOF, are you depriving Israel of its legal right to murder thousands of darker skinned people? Maybe some legal rights are so stupid they shouldn’t exist?
