Piracy isn’t stealing and neither is this.
yarrr!
Piracy also isn’t copyright infringement but that’s what this is. Under the law, which sucks. And if it applies to us it should apply to them.
Seeders are committing copyright infringement, by definition. Piracy actively encourages that behavior. Whether that is unethical or not can be debated though (FBI, I swear I have nyaa idea how qBT ended up on my machine, must have been a virus from a 4chan hacker).
Piracy is literally theft, what are you talking about?
It is absolutely not theft. If you’d like a physical crime to compare it to, forgery would be what you are looking for. But piracy is not at all theft.
That is, unless you are talking about Captain Davy Jones and his pirate ship. That type of piracy is theft.
