i see it as a philosophical question really: is a digital copy equal to the original? I postulate that it isnt - a copy is a different object, it resides on a different computer, and occupies space on that computer’s storage media.

so, if you’re making a copy, it’s not really “piracy” because the copy you made isnt the original. the original has value (imagined or otherwise)

what proof do they actually have it occurred though? 12 years is a long time - I dont think I have any electronics that are 12 years old, let alone digital media

eh, just pirate the game. if it’s not available anywhere then it probably wasn’t worth having in the first place.

amazon but only because I want free shipping and the streaming service was included. if it wasnt I wouldnt miss it

presumably a toaster from the potato age
