every article I saw says the books were scheduled to be destroyed or taken to a dump, and those are the books they are swooping up.

Sounds like propaganda to me.

Noooo. I wanted her to be President!

She is giving me Dr Who vibes in that photo.

Oh yes. Non-physical items can be XXXX.

We are just disagreeing on the word, not the action. I don't believe traditional words (like stolen) are 100% transferable to the digital world.

If you copied all my personal data from my laptop, I'd still have it.

If you stole it I wouldn't.

Companies steal trade secrets from each other all the time.

If you copy a secret then it is no longer a secret, so something has changed for the original owner.

Stop making up definitions and just accept that it’s stealing.

You are the one changing the definition of stealing to try and apply it to piracy.

stealing /ˈstiːlɪŋ/ noun

the action or offence of taking another person's property without permission or legal right and without intending to return it; theft.

It’s definitely stealing

It's definitely denying money to someone who is asking to be paid.

But since they, nor anyone else is affected by the copying activity I don't think it can be called stealing.

How about

“Fuck the corps, they don’t wanna play fair I’ll steal use their shit and they won’t see a penny”

Piracy doesn't fit the definition of stealing, because the owners still have the property.

5 dicks. How do your condoms fit?

Like a glove

OK, as shorthand.

It's too stale, male and pale for all cases.

I'm not excluding these people, but by relating this to Epstein specifically you are excluding all the corporate corruption that is unrelated to abusing children.

If you use the free versions, you are still feeding them content to train their models.

Disagree. Only some corporate corruption is.

The whole school of corruption needs highlighting. E.g. 2bn of crypto corruption has nothing to do with Epstein, but shouldn't be overlooked.

People are not all created equally. Anyone who claims this clearly hasn't given it any thought.

I loved my Nokia 8210. Tiny and kept running for days.

Try:

"Frankly Joanne, I don't believe that is any of your business"

I'm with you.
