Thread: Copying digital media ?

As we all know usually stealing means taking away the original one without the owners' permission. But by copying others' stuff (digital media), no one take away the original, so is it still stealing or not ?

I saw this kinda questions in some other places and there some people said, its not stealing because not getting the original one. But I believe its still stealing. Because we can't steal the original copy of a digital media, just can get a stolen copy. LOL
share what you think about this matter

Still it's a copy of a copy from the original without owners' permission. So i might say it is still stealing.

you are correct Jaffa, but most of us are at least few times did it. I did many times and now also doing. If I pay for all movies I watch, games I play, softwares I use, and songs I listen, at least I need about $2000 + a month for that.
