I thought it would be an interesting topic to discuss. I'm not aiming to justify piracy of course. My aim is to have a talk on the definitions and facts on the matter, and would like to hear others opinion on it.
Here's a bunch of questions to get things going:
What's the definition of theft?
The definition of piracy?
Is borrowing a game, physical or digital, piracy, theft or neither?
Is Steam Family Sharing theft, piracy or neither? (keep in mind that two people can play at the same time with this feature, through specific simple steps)
My current opinion on the matter: Piracy is wrong, can be a breach of contract (license agreement), and it can be illegal, but it is not theft.
