    1. The content’s copyright is technically owned by the copyright holders, not Google.

    2. Copying isn’t theft. Nothing is removed from the servers; YouTube still has its copy. Calling it “stealing” is biased loaded language.

      If I create art, then copyright states that you cannot copy (and redistribute) the art I created.

      I’d be bummed out and it would like you just stole from me. Now the people I might have sold my art aren’t interested, as they already got it for free. It feels like the work I did was wasted, and I also lost some profits, the amount of which is naturally hard to guess, but still.

      Story time’s over. So your 2nd point is shit, and I wish people stopped making that. It’s not biased or loaded because there are actual monetary losses to whomever it is you are illegally copying stuff from, instead of paying.

      Anyway, I just pirate because I really just will not pay for 10 different subs to get the content I want. Never. Spotify is great, but as long as movie/tv streaming is fragmented, Piracy will never dwindle.

      Just stop fucking justifying yourselves with shit arguments.

        Words have meanings. You are factually incorrect, and frankly, I don’t give a shit how you “feel” about it.
