This building looks like I feel clocking in for work.

Sues corning for making all that glass that transmitted the piracy.

Some of the most unruly people I’ve ever known are women. I think women just emphasize better and with media from a connection to those who are in or made the media.

It’s clear words are just vibes to you

They’re literally different legal concepts just like speeding isn’t murder.

I can own a DVD that’s digital ownership.

So if I enjoy a sunset it’s theft because nobody got paid?

Yes you did. You said if you buy something on steam you own it.

No, it’s trespassing and you could be arrested for it not stealing.

Copyright infringement (piracy) has never been theft. The statement about purchasing and ownership gives ground to see creating more of something to be the same as taking something.

Plus you don’t own games on steam, you’ve purchased a license. If you owned them you could resell them.

Even renters have rights. If you’re buying something like this you likely have no rights in the matter and the license you agreed to made sure of it.

I agree but they are not technically market monopolies.

This isn’t how market competition is done though. Otherwise every product you listed is a monopoly.

Are you’re saying competition doesn’t exist because products aren’t the same?

I’m trying to not disparage your argument here but if I go with your reasoning then I feel like there is no competition so that you can justify prices not going down. Where I believe competition simply doesn’t lower prices because capitalism desires more profit not less profit. Why fight over scraps when you can create a market by manipulating people into thinking: Green chat bubble mean poor so me no use RCS or open blue bubble because green bubble mean poor.

If competition didn’t exist for apple then they could give android an imessage app.

They certainly do compete with each other but it’s just a general misconception that competition lowers prices.

Pepsi and Coke have been competing with each other for decades and Coke has larger market share. So why doesn’t Pepsi just lower prices? Pepsi even has the diversified income of doing more than drinks. Lowering prices doesn’t lead to market share and Coke can just match the price.

Look at Apple’s growth in the American market, they can sell a product that is significantly more expensive than competitors and still gain market share.

Really funny because you can’t sue a gun maker for the guns they sold killing people. I say funny but I mean that it’s so depressing I have to laugh to maintain sanity.

Do people willing to live in climate extremes count as extremist? /S

2023’s darling, BG3 was in early access for years and feedback during early access made it better.

By that same rational: My not getting a raise is a lost sale because if I had more money I would buy more. So is corporate profit a lost sale?

I wouldn’t ever buy the content so it’s not a lost sale either. All I’ve done is copy a file. gasp
