While I appreciate the sentiment, theft of service is a crime. You don't have to be able to own something to be able to steal it.

When evil hides behind legality, there's no moral imperative for good people to follow laws.

Exactly! So many authoritarians pretend that every law is sacrosanct to the same degree as the ones against murder and meanwhile we have motherfuckers outlawing water breaks in triple digit degrees weather and mandating discrimination!

Guess they better lock me up then.

Wait, uh oh, is that the sound of sirens? Are they finally coming for me? Nope, it's just the cops seizing someone's civil assets at a traffic stop. Another day on the high seas for me.

What does a lack of enforcement, or other bullshit that the government does, have to do with the fact that OPs post made no sense.

[-] Thteven@lemmy.world 17 points 1 year ago

It made sense to me. Try unburdening yourself from this mindset of corporate lordship.

[-] hyperhopper@lemmy.ml 5 points 1 year ago

I'm not in that mindset. Doesn't mean laws and definitions of words don't exist law. We can say fuck them and that we don't care, but they still exist.

Jesus, you're like my wife 🤦.

[-] hyperhopper@lemmy.ml 1 points 1 year ago

Correct and not letting you make up definitions or ignore reality just to support a separate point that you agree with?

Sounds like you're a bad husband.

[-] 0x4E4F@lemmy.fmhy.ml 1 points 1 year ago

Sounds like you're not married.

[-] Hawke@lemmy.world 9 points 1 year ago

You do own the service though, or at least the result of it.

I hire someone to build me a garage, I own the garage.

[-] Ferris@discuss.online 5 points 1 year ago

I'ma sell garages with an EULA so all you own is the shelter your garage gave before I deprecated it; How's that.

When you buy a ticket to see a movie at a theatre, you don't own the movie.

[-] Hypnoctopus@lemmy.ml 5 points 1 year ago

There's always this guy who's like, aCtchUaLLy....

[-] eskimofry@lemmy.ml 4 points 1 year ago

Sounds quite evil then, this definition of crime and legality.

[-] argv_minus_one@beehaw.org 6 points 1 year ago

Theft of service is stuff like getting a haircut and leaving without paying. No, it's not evil that there are laws against doing that.

Calling software a service is quite a stretch, though.

[-] MeetInPotatoes@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago
[-] hyperhopper@lemmy.ml 3 points 1 year ago

According to the law or dictionaries? Yes.

[-] robbotlove@beehaw.org 3 points 1 year ago

only very specific series's of ones and zeros are able to be stolen.

[-] Hawke@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

There’s a shorter word for that, it’s “number”
