Doesn't matter, the file still exists and has not been destroyed.
You destroyed the product you have.
I destroyed the disc. But if I made a backup, which you agreed is perfectly fine to do, then I still have a copy of the file.
This is like saying that if you took a television and destroyed it that the TV isn't gone because there are more TVs in the manufacturer's warehouse.
Ridiculous. I can't make a digital backup of a TV. Those scenarios are not comparable at all.
No, I'm not. That's not my argument so I'm not proving anything. You're arguing a straw man and not what I've actually said.
Can't refute the argument? Just call it a strawman!
You said that borrowing a DVD and consuming the content isn't stealing, while downloading a copy of it and consuming it is. I proved that to be logically inconsistent. Nothing about that is a strawman.
People tweeting stuff. We allow tweets from anyone.
RULES:
Mark NSFW content.
No doxxing people.
Must be a pic of the tweet or similar. No direct links to the tweet.
No international politcs
Be excellent to each other.
Provide an archived link to the tweet (or similar) being shown if it's a major celebrity, figure or any politician. If you replace the "x" at their site with xcancel (so it beomes xcancel.com), and you're not on mobile, it will save video. https://web.archive.org/save is another great option. Archive.is is no longer recommended because they remove/alter content.
If a tweet (or similar) makes a statement of fact, either mark it as "satire" in the body or provide the original source link backing up the statement

Better luck next time!
