    If digital ownership isn’t acknowledged, digital piracy doesn’t exist. It’s just copying something no one owns.

      I mean I am a pirate as much as the next guy but this is missing the point. They acknowledge ownership. They just don’t agree that it transfers to you when you buy a game. So that argument gets you nowhere.

          Yeah, no. You buy services all the time, without owning the thing or person providing the service.

          If games are or should be a service is a completely different question. I wholeheartedly think that they are not, but that is irrelevant to the argument. But I can’t stand those polemic phrases that miss the point completely.
